Buffalo Sabres at Winnipeg Jets (-130, 5)Ryan Miller is peaking at just the right time. After a dismal start to the season, the former Vezina Trophy winner has righted the ship by helping the Buffalo Sabres collect 13 of a possible 14 points (6-0-1) in their last seven games.
After Miller posted back-to-back shutouts, coach Lindy Ruff's club continued its winning ways by posting a 5-3 triumph win at Vancouver on Saturday.
Winnipeg made a statement in its bid to win the Southeast Division by cruising to a 7-0 victory over Florida on Thursday. Evander Kane collected his first four-point performance of his career by scoring twice and setting up a pair of goals. Kane is now riding a career-best eight-game point streak.
With both teams playing superbly, the edge goes to the home squad. The home team is 5-1 in the last six meetings, and the favorite is 6-1 in the last seven meetings.
