Sabres vs. Flyers: Odds and prediction

The Buffalo Sabres are -115, while the Philadelphia Flyers are -105 at home, with the over/under set at 6.5 and the over-juiced to -130.

Buffalo entered this season with a ton of hype, but the Sabres have struggled early on due to their goaltending not being good. However, Luukkonen has been better than Levi, and the Flyers offense has been inconsistent. Buffalo should rebound nicely in a high-scoring game.

Prediction: Sabres 5, Flyers 3
