Flyers vs Sabres Predictions and Picks
"Philadelphia comes into this matchup on a three-game losing streak, and they have scored two goals or fewer in all three losses .... Buffalo has won three of their last four games, and they have been red hot over the last few weeks. The Sabres have scored five goals in three of their last four games, and they should generate plenty of chances against a Flyers defense that has allowed 12 goals in their last two. Take Buffalo to get another win here." —David Racey, PickDawgz
"Both teams have exactly 52 points this season, but the Sabres have been playing excellent hockey as of late, with a 13-2 record in their last 15 games and playing much better at home. On the flip side, the Flyers have three consecutive losses with their offense struggling mightily, having scored just four total goals in their last three games. Take the Sabres to get the job done at home in this one." — Nikos Lagouretos, Sports Chat Place
"The Sabres have been maintaining a very high pace for a long period of time, and the expected decline is clearly just around the corner, which also confirms the latest defeat by Florida. Philadelphia has suffered two defeats from one of the strongest clubs in the league at the moment, but this does not mean that the club is in weak form .... We believe that the guests are quite capable of giving a worthy rebuff." — Dmitriy Sviridov, Liontips
