T.M. Selection: Sabres / Blue Jackets Over

Sabres are eliminated but they would like to help make sure Columbus does not get into the post-season either. This is a classic spoiler role spot for Buffalo. Even though the Blue Jackets hopes are slim they are still mathematically alive so this should insure the best effort from both sides in this one! That best effort should translate to plenty of goals. 6 of 9 Columbus games have totaled 7+ goals. Buffalo off a 3-0 win but this was on the heels of an 18-game run in which 12 of the 18 games totaled at least 7 goals. I look for strong end to end action in this one Thursday.

T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Columbus.
