The set-up: Both teams have been terrible this year, but Buffalo enters in better current form and I like it to find a way to get the job done here vs. the putrid Devils. Buffalo has won two of its last three, including a 3-2 shootout victory at home over the Rangers last time out.

The pick: The Devils have lost three in a row, including back-to-back extra time setbacks, followed by a tight 5-4 home loss to the Capitals in their last outing. The Sabres play with revenge here as well after falling 3-2 in the most recent matchup in mid March. Look for Buffalo to deliver in this favorable matchup.

This is a 10* UNDERDOG ELITE OF THE ELITE on the Sabres.
