The Carolina Hurricanes saw their 5-game winning streak come to a halt last night, falling to Tampa Bay 3-1, and just like winning, losing can also be contagious. Tonight they will be playing back-to-back games when they host the Buffalo Sabres. The Sabres’ Jeff Skinner, who is second in the league in scoring with 29 goals, will be facing the team that traded him in the off-season, so you know he will want to put on a show. The Sabres are coming off of an impressive win over the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday and could also see the return of their captain, Jack Eichel, tonight. Buffalo has lost the last 6 meetings with Carolina so it’s time for them to snap the trend.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES
