Analysis
Buffalo's superior recent form and dominant home record create a compelling case against a struggling Florida team. The rest advantage is neutralized with both teams having identical 2-day breaks, making current form the deciding factor. Buffalo's 63.3% home win rate versus Florida's 50% road record shows a clear edge. The puck line analysis favors Buffalo given their recent offensive explosion and Florida's defensive struggles on the road. With both teams averaging high goal totals in recent games and their head-to-head history featuring consistent overs, the total should exceed 6.5 goals in what projects as an entertaining, high-scoring affair.
