Phoenix also lost to Buffalo...
This is far from a runaway for Phoenix, and I make this game to be a tight one. I think the line is right about where it should be. Phoenix might still win this game, but no matter how good a goalie is, teams that rank 23rd in offense won't stay near the top of their division.
