The Buffalo Sabres and the Saint Louis Blues will square off tonight in Western New York. The perennial bottom feeding Sabres are showing some promise this year and have played well at KeyBank Center with a record of 5-2-2. The Blues are tied with the Calgary Flames for the fewest points in the league, with only 10, and will be playing back-to-back games after being blown out by the Washington Capitals last night 6-1 in Washington. St. Louis is expected to have Joel Hofer between the pipes, and this guy would have trouble stopping a basketball. Hofer is 1-3-0 with a 5.02 GAA and a .836 SV%. The Sabres have the edge in goals scored, goals against, and the Blues are 0-4 in their last 4 road games.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES
