Buffalo over Pittsburgh
7:07 PM. Overtime included. The Penguins return home here after a three-game road trip that took them to Detroit, Toronto, and Montreal. Pittsburgh is now 2-2 on the season, with their lone appearance at home coming just a week ago, on October 9, where the Pens were whacked 6-0 by the Rangers.
This game marks the Penguins' fifth game in eight days, as they have not had more than one day off since the beginning of the season, and on those off days, they’ve had to travel. We faded the Penguins in their last game in Montreal, but unfortunately, we ripped up that ticket. However, that 6-3 final greatly flatters Pittsburgh, as that was a tie game in the third period with less than eight minutes to play before Kevin Hayes broke the tie for the Pens, and after that, they added two more, including an empty netter.
Meanwhile, the Sabres are off to a 1-3 start, but they have played better than that record would indicate. Buffalo is coming off a 5-2 victory over the Panthers on Saturday night, which came on the heels of a quality effort but a loss in Los Angeles last Thursday. Expectations were high in Buffalo to start the season, but the Sabres are already under fire because they went 0-3 to start the season. However, this is not a team that we are going to give up on. Until the market catches up with just how good Buffalo is, they are going to be a value play worthy of consideration.
