The Philadelphia Flyers (2-6-3) are set to take on the Buffalo Sabres (4-3-2) at KeyBank Center on Wednesday night, with puck drop at 7:30 p.m. ET on TNT. The Flyers have struggled early in the season, remaining winless on the road with a 0-4-1 record away from home. However, they have recently found some rhythm, winning back‑to‑back games: a 3-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators and a 3-2 upset of the Colorado Avalanche, in which F Matvei Michkov tallied two goals.
Buffalo has finished a road trip to Canada with all three games going into extra time, securing only one win but earning four of six possible points. G Ukko‑Pekka Luukkonen posted solid numbers on the back end during the trip, and F Tage Thompson continues to lead the Sabres in points with five goals and four assists. D Rasmus Dahlin is expected to return from injury for the game.
Betting odds from BetMGM Sportsbook list the Sabres as favorites at -185 on the moneyline, with the Flyers +150. The spread favors Buffalo by 1.5 goals, while the over/under is set at six goals. The projected goalies are Joseph Woll for Philadelphia, who has a 2.53 GAA and .886 save percentage, and Luukkonen for Buffalo, who is 1-1 at home this season.
Analysts predict a 4-3 win for the Sabres, citing Buffalo’s recent form and the return of Dahlin. The Flyers, however, are seen as a potential spread play, with their 6-5 record against the spread offering a chance for a return to form. The over/under leans toward the Sabres’ side, with a projected 6‑goal total.
