This is a 10* EAST-CONFERENCE TOTAL OF THE MONTH on the UNDER between the Detroit Red Wings and the Buffalo Sabres.

REASONING: Despite their three-game win streak, the Wings still remain one of the worst offensive clubs in the league in averaging just 2.49 GPG. The Sabres are even worse in averaging a measly 2.34 per contest. Neither is great on the defensive end either, but each catches a break in facing the others anemic offense tonight. Note that three of their last four in the series have fallen under the number. Also note that Detroit has seen the total go UNDER the number in six of nine this year after scoring four goals or more in its previous contest and in three of four after a three game unbeaten streak, while Buffalo has seen the total go UNDER in four of six this season when playing with two days rest and in eight of 14 after allowing four goals or more. All the numbers do indeed point to the UNDER as the savvy move in this contest.
