January 27th, 2010 NHL Pick

New Jersey @ Buffalo
The Buffalo Sabres have been playing some good hockey and are back in Buffalo for their first game in 7 games. In those 7 games the Sabres went 2-5 in those 7 West Coast teams. The Devils lost a shootout last night to Ottawa and arer 4-0 on the road when coming off of a road loss. I look for the Devils to finish this 3 game road trip ona good note against the Sabres tonight. The Sabres are having their forst game at home which can sometimes be a hard match-up. The Devils look to avenge  last nights lost quickly and look for a big game from Brodeur.
