The Sabres continue to struggle on the road after last night's 7-4 whipping administered by the Flames in Calgary. Buffalo has only won 2 of 15 on the road. It's also this is looking like the road trip from hell, as the Sabres been outscored 16-7 while losing the first three of this excursion. Lindy Ruff had to pull Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen after he stopped only 17 of 22 shots the first 40 minutes. Alex Lyon, in the nets in the 3rd period, likely starts tonight. As for the Oilers, they are rumbling, with wins in two straight on this homestand, scoring 15 goals in the process after a 1-0 loss to the Wild last Tuesday. Play Oilers on the Puck Line.

Was not getting -1 earlier so that's nice as the Oilers suddenly are rampaging, winning their past two over Seattle and Winnipeg by a combined score of 15-6. Leon Draisaitl (416) is one goal away from tying Glenn Anderson for the third most in franchise history. Draisaitl has 19 points (7 G, 12 A) in his last 11 games, including points in nine of his last 10 appearances. Buffalo has lost three straight by multiple goals, including 7-4 last night in Calgary, and is without one of its top forwards in Jason Zucker (9G, 9A). If logic means anything at all, this should certainly not lose and I'm tempted to just hammer the moneyline. But logic rarely does mean much.
