The Sabres have been a big early surprise going 5-2. They last played on Thursday and draw the Kings playing without rest and in action for the third time in four days. 

The Kings are a bit fat and happy after ending a six-game losing streak with a 5-2 home win against the Canadiens Saturday. Calvin Peterson was in net for the Kings in that game. So that likely means Jonathan Quick will be in goal against the Sabres. 

LA is 0-4 with Quick in goal as Quick is well past his prime. 

The oddsmaker is sleeping on the Sabres opening the Kings as the favorite.
