Flyers vs Sabres Prediction

I’m on the Sabres here. When we get to the part of the year where eliminated teams have to duke it out, I think we’re better off siding with the team giving us plus money because a lot of these games are truly coin flips. Even still, the Sabres are playing the better hockey right now with wins in three straight and I think the Sabres make it four in a row here. Give me Buffalo in this one.
