3 Unit Play. #58 Take Buffalo -105 over Philadelphia (7:35 Eastern NHL Center Ice) Things are looking bleak in Buffalo with the Sabres sitting five points out of the eight spot with just twelve games left on the schedule. In the last week Buffalo has lost to Ottawa and Atlanta, while bad for a team fighting for a playoff spot both teams are playing the best hockey they have all season. Philadelphia on the other hand is going to be in the playoffs but I think this team has some issue as well, losers of three of the last four and blowing a 2-0 lead in Detroit the other night comes into Buffalo having beating this Sabres three times this year including on March 10 in Philadelphia where the game was tied going into the third before Philadelphia chased Buffalo goalie Lalime after three quick goals. From what I read Buffalo had a hard practice on Wednesday after losing to Ottawa the night before and had what the team called a "fun day" yesterday. While I don't think Buffalo is a playoff team I do think they will be relax and fresh to play this game, the Flyers on the other hand have been juggling their lines and in my opinion are to thin in the defense area to go deep in the playoffs and I don't think they should be listed as a small favorite here tonight.
