Senators vs Sabres prediction

The Senators are coming off a couple of nice underdog wins over the Oilers and Devils, and that makes them worth a look in the underdog role here. However, the Senators have had issues stringing wins together all year, so it’s hard to trust them to keep things rolling. Also, the Sabres have won 3 of the last 4 games against the Senators, including a January win where they scored 5 goals. The Sabres are also still playing for an outside chance of stealing a wild card spot, while the Senators season is all but over. We’re getting the Sabres at home while they have things to play for and a cheap price. Hard to go against Buffalo. Give me the Sabres.
