The Sabres are the 10th-best defensive team in the NHL, but rank 28th offensively. That makes them a good under club. So it's no shock that the under is 15-6-4 in Buffalo's last 25 games.

This series has an under history, too, when the teams play in Florida. The over only has cashed four times during the last 26 times the Panthers have hosted the Sabres.

Buffalo has made changes to three of its four lines. So it might take a while for the adjustment to click in. That favors the under so does the Florida rust factor. The Panthers haven't played since last Friday. They are 7-2-2 to the under when playing on three or more day's rest.

Florida has been held to three or fewer goals in 13 of its last 14 games. The Panthers have killed off 34 of 36 power plays since Tom Rowe became head coach.
