Carolina Hurricanes at Buffalo Sabres (-175, 5.5)
It’s back to reality for the Buffalo Sabres.
The Sabres were one of four teams that began the regular season in Europe last week and were the most successful club that made the trek by picking up four points in two games.
However, starting your season across the pond can really throw teams for a loop. Brad Richards of the Rangers admitted as much late last week and many teams have a tough time to get back in the swing of things on home soil.
But Buffalo couldn’t get enough of the European experience.
"Now that we've won two games, we think it's great, fantastic and we'd like to do it every year," Sabres President Ted Black told reporters, a statement that was echoed by a number of different players. "Seriously, it's really been a wonderful experience.”
Even though the Sabres haven’t played in a week, they shouldn’t have any problem keeping the momentum going as long as Ryan Miller does his thing. His save percentage is north of .950 through two starts.
Pick: Under
San Jose Sharks at Anaheim Ducks (+100, 5.5)
The Ducks are another club trying to find its legs after coming back from Europe, but they have a tough test here in their home opener.
While Anaheim did pick up a win in Europe, the club looked sloppy in its own end at times and had a terrible time on the power play. Despite a unit loaded with top-end talent, the Ducks couldn’t score on 11 chances with the man advantage.
"Our power play right now is the one thing that's not clicking the way it should," defenseman Cam Fowler told reporters. "I think it's just getting that chemistry back to where we left off last season. If all five guys aren't on the same page, that's when things can get a little rough out there."
San Jose’s power play already looks like it’s in midseason form, converting three of its six chances in a 6-3 win over Phoenix in the club’s season opener.
Pick: San Jose
