Result: Loss
Point Spread: 1.50 | -205.00 Buffalo (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 5* play on the Buffalo Sabres on the PUCK-LINE.
REASONING: The Lighting suffered a major setback with star forward Steven Stamkos tearing his right knee in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings. Stamkos was third in the NHL with 20 points. Replacing a player of this calibre is impossible do and while Tampa Bay is a very deep and experienced team, we think it's going to take some time to develop chemistry and adjust to the major change in the offense. From a scheduling stand point, this is also a tough spot for Tampa Bay as its the third game in a five-game road trip. The Lightning also get caught looking ahead to their game in Columbus on Friday. Buffalo is going to be desperate here as it looks to break a five-game slide, most recently a 4-1 setback to St. Louis on Tuesday. We're going to lay the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance. Play on the SABRES on the PUCK-LINE.
