The Buffalo Sabres are bad. Last in the East bad. Same number of wins as Arizona bad. Teammates fighting teammates bad (hi, former Jacket Justin Falk). Losers of 4 in a row bad. Then there’s this.
That being said, watch them win this one 3-1. After all, they did nearly erase a 3-0 deficit in the third period the last time these two teams met.
On the Columbus side, your boys in blue have won two in a row and three of the last four since their end-of-year skid. There are just two games left before the bye week and they’re both against bottom-of-the-league teams.
