ASA NHL TOP PLAY ON 10* Philadelphia Flyers Puck Line (-1.5 goals) over Buffalo Sabres, Monday at 7:05 PM ET - 17 straight losses for the Sabres. Of course that, plus the Flyers domination of Buffalo this season, is why Philadelphia is a -200 favorite on the money line in this game. While we will not lay that kind of price here we are going to get involved in this one by utilizing the value of the puck line. By laying the 1.5 goals with Philly here we actually lay no juice and get a +125 return on our investment. Of course the key here is that the Flyers must win this game by 2 or more goals. That being said, Buffalo is off a 1-goal loss but this was preceded by 12 of 15 (80%) defeats coming by 2 or more goals. The Flyers most recent win over the Sabres was by a 1-goal margin but this followed 6 straight meetings between these clubs that each were games decided by 2 or more goals. Brian Elliott will be in goal for the Flyers tonight and the veteran is 3-0 with a 0.92 GAA and a .967 save percentage in 4 games (3 starts) versus the Sabres this season. Philadelphia had stumbled lately but are off a key win over the Rangers and they know that if they are going to continue to stay alive in the playoff race, they must get wins against teams like Buffalo. Look for the Sabres losing streak to reach 18 games as a result. Laying the 1.5 goals (for a solid plus money return, currently in the +125 range) with Philadelphia is the value play here.
