The Buffalo Sabres return home tonight to KeyBank Center to face the Boston Bruins. The Sabres and the Bruins could very well meet in the first round of the playoffs and Buffalo will send Boston a message. You don’t mess with the boys from western New York. The Sabres are 22-9-3 at home and will be well-rested, having two days off, and they are 4-0 in their last 4 in this situation. The Bruins will be playing back-to-back games after falling to the Toronto Maple Leafs last night, 2-4, so fatigue could be an issue. Buffalo cruised to an easy 4-1 victory in their last meeting back in December and will do the same tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES
