The Buffalo Sabres could see the return of their top scorer tonight, Tage Thompson, when they head west for a matchup with the Los Angeles Kings. Thompson has 11 tallies on the year and his return would help the Sabres cause but he is still a game time decision. The Sabres could certainly use him back in the lineup, losers of 2 of their last 3, and are just 2-4-1 when away from Western New York. The Kings boast a 5-1-1 home record and won the last meeting with the Sabres in Buffalo on October 10th, 3-1. Thompson or not, the Kings should prevail.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES KINGS
