The Devils are 7-21 in their last 28 games playing on 1 days rest and 7-19 in their last 26 overall. The Sabres are 5-16 in their last 21 home games and 17-42 in their last 59 overall. The under is 9-4 in Devils last 13 overall. The over is 3-1-1 in Sabres last 5 games following a win. The road team is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.

The New Jersey Devils have had good success in the favorite role lately, but they also have issues offensively, have lost four straight games and haven't lit the world on fire this season overall. The Buffalo Sabres have been a joke all season long, but they've quietly won three of their last four games and they've beaten the Devils four times this season. In other words, 44.4 percent of the Sabres wins this season have come against the Devils. You have to like the even money with the Sabres on their home ice.
