Flyers vs. Sabres Preview
I like two sides here, starting with the Sabres to win in regulation against the Flyers. I don't want to lay such heavy juice (ranging from -175 to -185) on Buffalo here, especially with Philadelphia winning two in a row. We can reduce some risk by targeting them on the three-way moneyline, where you can get them around -105 in this market.
There are a couple of factors at play here. For one, Sabres' top defenseman Rasmus Dahlin is expected to be back in action after missing a few games. That's a huge addition to Buffalo's blue line.
On top of that, the Sabres are on three days' rest for this matchup, while the Flyers are playing their third game in the last five nights. But most importantly is the difference in 5-on-5 play. The Sabres rank 7th in ShotAttempts%, while the Flyers are 32nd.
Given these factors, we'll ride with Buffalo to win this one in regulation.
Best Bet: Sabres No OT Moneyline
