Sabres/Senators clash set for Saturday
If familiarity breeds contempt, there should be animosity aplenty when the Sabres visits division rival Ottawa at Corel Centre Saturday.
The Senators play into revenge Saturday, after handing Buffalo a 10-4 defeat in the last meeting back on November 2, 2005.
Oddsmakers like the Senators in this one, opening the line at 470 in favor of Ottawa. They are 12-2-0 this season, while the Sabres are 8-8-0.
Lindy Ruff's team hopes to build upon a 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs. They were 105 underdogs in a game that went as a push against the total.
The Senators come off a 5-2 win against the Bruins, a game where they were a 160 favorite. The game went over the closing total of 6.5.
This game is likely to come down to the Senators's execution on offence. They rank 1st in the league in scoring and look to sustain their 4.9 goals per game average against the Sabres's #21-rated defensive unit.
