The Buffalo Sabres will try to feed off of Saturday’s victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins, when they host the Calgary Flames tonight at KeyBank Center. The Flames are playing back-to-back games, and are 3-9 in their last 12 games on zero day’s rest, and just 1-10 in their last 11 in Western New York. Brian Elliott is expected between the pipes tonight for Calgary and he is 3-8-0 on the season with a 3.36 GAA and a .882 SV%. Buffalo is expected to have Robin Lehner in goal tonight. Lehner has a record of 4-7-2, with a 2.53 GAA and a .919 SV%. Home teams are 18-3-1 in the last 22 meetings between these two clubs. The numbers favor the Sabres here.
Tonight’s pick:
