The Penguins have not played well defensively and even after scoring more than 3.5 goals per game have been on the losing side in many games. They will take inspiration from the fact that the over is 4-0 in their last four Wednesday games and they are 20-7 in the last 27 meetings in Buffalo.
The Sabres are better prepared to win this game due to their better defense. The home team has been 5-1 in the last 6 meetings. They are 8-3 in their last 11 games against a team with a losing record and are likely to better it in this game.
