Philadelphia Flyers vs Buffalo Sabres Prediction – 4/17/2025

The Philadelphia Flyers are set to face the Buffalo Sabres on April 17, 2025, at 7:00 PM at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York. Both teams are looking to end their regular seasons on a high note after disappointing 2024-25 campaigns.

Philadelphia Flyers vs Buffalo Sabres Game Preview

The Flyers enter the game with a record of 33-38-10, including a 13-18-9 mark on the road. They have been struggling recently, losing two consecutive games, which has been the icing on the cake of a disappointing season. Philadelphia sits in last place in the Metropolitan Division, two points back of the seventh place Pittsburgh Penguins. Philadelphia could catch the Penguins with a win and a Penguins loss tonight, but that is about the only thing Philly has to play for here.

The Sabres hold a 35-39-7 record, with a 22-15-3 performance at home. Buffalo is in seventh place in the Atlantic Division and has confirmed that they cannot finish worse than the Boston Bruins in the standings. While avoiding last place is nice, the Sabres will feel disappointed in the way their season has gone, especially over their last few games. Buffalo has dropped four games in a row coming into this regular season finale and they will look to snap that streak before heading into the offseason.
