Team Updates and Goalie Outlook
Alright, let’s get into the action between Buffalo and Philadelphia here on Saturday.
For Buffalo, we might see Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in goal, but they could switch it up. There’s a chance we see Devon Levi in this one, so keep an eye on that. As for the Flyers, they’re still dealing with injuries, so I expect we’ll see Ivan Fedotov in goal. Fedotov has been solid, and big things are expected from him moving forward for this Flyers team.
The Flyers have been playing pretty good hockey lately, winning three of their last four games. Buffalo is also on a roll, winning four of their last five, including a shootout and an OT win. Both teams are definitely scoring plenty of goals right now.
Scoring Trends and Betting Prediction
Let’s look at the numbers: the Flyers have hit three straight overs, while Buffalo has gone over in four of their last five games. Buffalo is averaging 4.6 goals per game over their last five, while the Flyers are averaging 3.6 goals per game in the same span.
This matchup on Saturday night is shaping up to be a high-scoring affair, no matter who’s in goal. My pick? Take the over 6 or 6.5 goals. I’m confident we’ll easily hit seven goals in this one between Buffalo and Philadelphia on Saturday night.
Thanks, everybody, for tuning in! I appreciate each and every one of you. Have yourself a wonderful Saturday, and I’ll catch you on the next one.
