The Sabres hope they get more respect from the Canadiens Saturday than they do from Vegas oddsmakers, who peg them as underdogs.

The Sabres play into revenge Saturday, after handing Montreal a 3-1 defeat in their last meeting back on April 12, 2006.

Oddsmakers like the Canadiens in this one, opening the line at 145 in favor of Montreal. They are 42-29-9 this season, while the Sabres are 49-24-6.

Lindy Ruff's team was busy last game winning against the Canadiens 3-1 as favorites. The 4 goals sent that game under the total of 7.

The Canadiens come off a 4-3 win against the Bruins, a game where they were favorites. The game went over the closing total of 6.
