Prediction

The Penguins have been up and down this season and are only 4-3-2 at home losing 5 of their last 6 games in Pitt. The Sabres are having a great start of the season and have been insane on the road as they have won 10 of 12 games away from home. The Pens beat the Sabres twice last season but things are looking different now so go with Buffalo to steal another win on the road.
