Philadelphia at Buffalo

The Sabres returned to Earth this past Monday, losing 4-3 to the Panthers at home. That was only Buffalo's second loss in its last 15 games. The defeat may have zapped the Sabres' momentum, and we're getting good value on the Flyers here. Philadelphia has as many points on the season as Buffalo. The Flyers are happy to get away from Tampa Bay, another red-hot team that has won 11 in a row. Philadelphia hosted the Lightning in its last two games, and the results were not favorable. The Flyers lost 5-1 and 7-2. Now the Flyers get to step down in class. Philadelphia is 10-7-3 on the road this season, ranks 10th defensively, and allows the fourth fewest shots on goal. They also have an above-average penalty kill. Buffalo can't match those defensive numbers, ranking 21st in scoring defense and 28th in shots allowed. Take the Flyers.
