Tampa Bay rolls into KeyBank Center at 11-4-2, the stronger body of work in this matchup, while Buffalo sits at 8-6-3 and is coming off a 1-2 home loss to Ottawa. The Lightning just dropped a 4-3 decision in Winnipeg, but that ended a long home point streak rather than exposing a slump, and their scoring depth has held up all season behind Nikita Kucherov, who has historically tormented this opponent with 23 goals and 56 points in 43 career meetings. Andrei Vasilevskiy brings a 14-4-3 career record against Buffalo with a .905 save percentage, and Victor Hedman anchors a blue line that should limit Buffalo's transition game. Tampa went just 1-3-0 against the Sabres last season, so this is a divisional revenge spot with the better roster. Lightning take it.
