The Buffalo Sabres have just mailed it in, and it’s at a point now where there’s not enough plus money that we could get to back Buffalo as the Sabres aren’t even interested in playing spoiler. Boston needs the wins to build their playoff position and to lock up a spot, so I’ll back Boston -1.5 in this one.
