With just one win in the last seven games, the Philadelphia Flyers are grasping at straws and trying to stay relevant in the extremely tough Metropolitan Division. The Flyers currently sit in 5th place in the division, and are seven points behind the Capitals for 4th.
Buffalo can’t seem to gain any ground, despite looking like a better team since center Jack Eichel returned from injury last month. Coming off a 4-3 win over Winnipeg, the Sabres will look to string together some wins.
Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers play in the toughest division in the NHL, the Metropolitan, and are starting to look like they might not be tough enough to get to the playoffs through that division. The Flyers are the 5th seed in the Metro right now and, unless the team can get going and string together a lot of wins, it looks like it might stay that way.
Philly has one win in the last seven games and the 2nd worst ranked defense in the league is starting to show its true colors. The Flyers have given up an average of 3.57 goals per game over the last seven games and the offense hasn’t been able to bail them out of these poor defensive efforts.
The Flyers rank 29th in goals against and give up an average of 3.15 goals per game for the entire year. As good as the offense is – 5th in goals scored – it hasn’t been enough to win a lot of high scoring games.

To beat the Sabres, the Flyers will need to play better defensively than they have over this rough seven-game stretch.
Buffalo Sabres
As we move into 2017, the idea of the playoffs for the Buffalo Sabres is looking less and less likely. The Sabres sit in 7th place in the Atlantic and aren’t able to string wins together, despite having a couple of great weapons on the team.
Center Jack Eichel continues to improve and has really found his form in the 18 games he’s played since returning from injury. In his 18 games, he has eight goals and six assists, two and two in his last five games.
Right winger Kyle Okposo has really started to play well, also. In his last five games, he has three goals and two assists, including one of each against a very tough Chicago Blackhawks squad.
Unfortunately for Buffalo, there just isn’t enough offense generated outside of those guys. The Sabres rank 2nd to last in goals scored with just 89 on the year. This is an average of just 2.28 goals per game.

For Buffalo to beat a solid Flyers team, the offense is going to have to find a way to generate more than the team’s average amount of goals per game.
NHL Betting Trends:
- The Total has gone OVER in four of Philly’s last six games
- Buffalo is 2-4 ATS in its last six games at home
Free Philadelphia Flyers vs. Buffalo Sabres NHL Hockey Prediction:
Philly’s defense has really struggled over the last 10 games. However, against a weak Buffalo team, the Flyers’ potent offense should be enough to carry them to victory. Philly gets the W.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Philadelphia ML
Philly has had a tough time winning games recently, but still can generate good offense. Against a Buffalo team that struggles in that department, I like Philly.
