After going 2-3 on their 5-game road trip, the Buffalo Sabres will be glad to return home tonight to KeyBank Center when they take on the Ottawa Senators. The Sabres have been hot at home, winning their last 3, and after tonight it should be 4. The Senators, who are just 11-20-2 on the road, know their season is over so all they have to play for now is to be a spoiler. On the flip side, Buffalo is still alive in the wild card hunt but cannot afford to lose to teams like Ottawa if they want to get in and they are aware of that. The Sabres have won 2 of the 3 meetings with the Sens this year and will have an arena full of Sabres fans behind them.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES
