Oddsmakers like the Sabres on Wednesday night, opening the line at 260 in favor of Buffalo over the Washington Capitals. They are 6-2-0 this season, while the Capitals are 3-6-0. The total opened at 6.5.
Sporting a 3-6-0 overall record and a 1-5-0 mark within the division, the Capitals aim to knock the Sabres (2-1-0 in the division) for a loss.
Glen Hanlon's team hopes to rebound from a 4-0 loss at the hands of the Hurricanes. They were 145 underdogs in a game that went under the total.
Lindy Ruff's troops were at home against the Rangers last game and came away with a 3-1 win, a game that went under 6. Oddsmakers had them as 145 money line favorites in that one.
With the league's #29-ranked offence, Washington either needs a breakout game or it's up to the defence to keep them in this one. The Capitals average just 2.2 goals per game.
