I'm taking the value and going with the Sabres, who I see as a very live 'dog. The Flyers are 1-6 in their last seven home games. It's a flat spot, too, for Philadelphia.

The Flyers have won four in a row with the last coming at home two nights ago against the Maple Leafs. The Flyers host the hot Stars on Saturday in a bigger game than this.

Buffalo has been more competitive than its record may indicate. The Sabres are 2-2 in their last four games. Their two losses during this time frame both came in overtime on the road to the Blackhawks and Blues.

The Sabres are healthy and have Robin Lehner in net. He has been playing well stopping 149 of 159 shots in his last four games for a .937 save percentage.
