Buffalo are 8-1 SU in their last 9 games.

Prediction

The Sabres have been playing great lately and have scored 5.5 goals per game in their last 2 matches but they are also allowing over 3 goals per game. The Flyers have won 4 of their last 5 games and have been great offensively as well scoring 4 goals per game on that strecht. With both offenses on fire I think the best play is the over.

PICK: Over 6.5 (-110)
