The Buffalo Sabres will start the second half of the season tonight at home against the Ottawa Senators. The Sens will be playing back-to-back games after falling to the New Jersey Devils last night, 4-3, so fatigue could be an issue. Ottawa is just 5-15-4 on the road and Buffalo is a force at KeyBank Center, with a record of 14-6-3. The Sabres will have payback on their minds tonight after losing to the Senators in their last meeting, 3-1. Buffalo hasn’t laced up since January 18th but if rust isn’t a factor, they will cruise to an easy victory.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES
