Buffalo doesn't win much of anything, but the underdog has won eight consecutive first periods between these two teams when they play in Ottawa. Considering the Senators haven't been home in so long, they could come out a little conservative. Especially since they want to build off the things they did well in Calgary and Edmonton. When the Sabres…

It feels odd that the Calgary Flames have not faced the Edmonton Oilers since the start of the regular season. But it's been an odd year. A two-plus month gap between meetings was extended by an additional month when the game on December 27th had to be postponed when the Flames went into COVID protocol. On Saturday, those of us starving for the…

Colorado has won eight of 10 and has only lost once in regulation over their last 17 games.
