NHL regular season is coming to an end. A match between the Flyers, currently in 4th place in the Eastern Conference, and the Sabres, who are in 13th place in the same conference, is upcoming.
Philadelphia Flyers
Currently, this is the hottest team in the entire league. They have won 9 out of the last 10 games. Playing at home, the game is even better, and the team almost always wins in regulation time. Overall, throughout the season, the Flyers have won 24 out of 33 home games and have a goal difference of 121:71. This goal difference is the best in the entire league.
After this good series, the Flyers have risen to 4th place in the conference. Although a playoff spot is almost secured, there is still a chance to climb higher. They are only 2 points behind the 2nd place Lightning.
In this match, the Flyers will be without Lindblom and Morin, so the losses are not significant. H2H also completely favors the Flyers. They have won 4 consecutive home games against the Sabres. The last meetings ended 6:1, 5:2, and 4:1 in favor of the Flyers.
Buffalo Sabres
This season is definitely not the most successful for the Sabres. They are in 13th place in the conference, and the chances of making the playoffs are almost gone. Especially at the moment, the team is showing very poor performance. They have lost 5 consecutive games, all in regulation time. The team is currently in a very deep slump.
Overall, throughout the season, the Sabres play very poorly on the road. In 33 games, they have achieved only 10 wins. And the goal difference is 84:113. In this match, the Sabres will be without Hunwick, Sobotka, Thompson, Girgensons, and Pilut. The losses are definitely much greater than in the Flyers team.
Choice
So, a match between the “hottest” and “coldest” teams in the league awaits. It's hard to imagine a scenario where the Flyers could lose to the Sabres at home. It seems that in this match, the Flyers should achieve an easy victory, perhaps even by more than a 2-goal margin. The teams' H2H also shows that even when the Flyers were in worse form, they managed to beat the Sabres. The motivation is also on the Flyers' side, as it is important for them to secure the highest possible place in the conference. Good luck.
