While the Sabres have played two games already to the Kings' zero, the fact remains that Buffalo looked abysmal offensively in those contests. Buffalo was outscored 7-2 and their power play was ineffective with their opportunities. In short, they looked like a team that has missed the playoffs 13 straight seasons. Los Angeles is rested and ready for this one: they should take advantage of the Sabres' issues to get a road win to open their season.
