Buffalo finished strong, winning their last four, but showed some chinks in the armor allowing 15 goals over their last five games at 3 per contest. That may be their demise here against a Flyers team that scored 7 times in their season finale. They also had no trouble penetrating the Sabres’ defense this season, amassing a total of 17 goals in the four games played, with no fewer than 3 in any of the contests. The Sabres certainly haven't earned trust as a playoffs dog, where they have failed six straight times to come away a winner. Contrary to those numbers, the Flyers have been cash cows as a playoffs favorite, bringing home the bacon in seven of their last eight. The Flyers get the game one win.
