On Thursday, against the Arizona Coyotes, the Flyers scored six goals and that led to the four goal victory. Morgan Frost had a big game, finishing with four assists. The Flyers are averaging 2.77 goals, while their defense is giving up 3.23 goals per game. The offense hasn’t been good enough overall, and they are ranked 28th in the NHL. Travis Konecny has scored 20 goals and added 20 assists so far this season. 

Buffalo comes into this game with a 20-15-2 record overall, and they are coming off a big game. In the last game against the Minnesota Wild, it took overtime, but they scored six goals and that led to the victory. Rasmus Dahlin scored two goals and added three assists. The Sabres are averaging 4.0 goals, while their defense is giving up 3.43 goals per game. The offense is the best in the NHL, but the defense has been an issue.

The Sabres are 8-1 in their last nine games overall. The over is 4-0 in the Flyer's last four games against the Eastern Conference. The over is 5-1-1 in the Sabres last seven home games. The over is 9-2-4 in the Sabres last 15 games on Monday. The over is 4-0 in the Sabres last 4 home games against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400.

This Flyers' offense isn’t good, averaging only 2.77 goals per game and on the second night of a back to back, they are going to struggle even more. This is going to be an easy victory for the Sabres. Look for Buffalo to score four or five goals, and they will get the job done. Back the Sabres on the puck line.
