This is a 7* play on PHILADELPHIA

Already in the midst of a slide, this is a very bad spot for Buffalo. After losing 5-3 last night in Toronto, the Sabres now must play one of the league's hottest teams in Philadelphia. The Flyers stormed back from a two-goal deficit in the third period to beat Pittsburgh on Saturday and have now won 13 out of their last 17 games. Meanwhile, Buffalo has dropped five out of its last six. Given how things have been going, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Philly ended up with more points at season's end, which seemed highly unlikely when Buffalo was winning 10 straight back in November. But aside from that one streak, the Sabres are just 19-33 in all other games. That's just not very good, nor is their 11-16-4 road record. The Flyers won 6-2 the last time they faced Buffalo. They've won the last three meetings at home as well. Play on PHILADELPHIA
