Why Bet Tage Thompson to Score:

✅ Thompson has scored in three of the Sabres last four games, scoring five goals in total over that timeframe.
✅ Thompson is averaging just under a goal per game for the Sabres this season, potting 31 in 37 games played.

Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers saw their four game win streak snapped at the hands of the Toronto Maple Leafs over the weekend, finally meeting their match in a 6-2 loss against one of the better teams in the league.
Carter Hart was in goal for the loss to the Leafs and will give up his crease to Samuel Ersson for the meeting with the Sabres. Ersson is 3-0-0 in his first three games with the Flyers, earning him a stay in the NHL as the team sent Felix Sandstrom to the AHL for the time being.
Ersson’s early returns have been great but this will be his biggest test to date. The three wins he picked up were against the Sharks, Kings and Ducks who lack the firepower of the freewheeling Sabres and their star sniper in Thompson.
Buffalo Sabres
2023 has started with plenty of offensive fireworks and excitement for the Sabres, who won two straight games in overtime last week to continue their journey to a hopeful playoff spot this season.
The Sabres beat Washington 6-5 in overtime thanks to a Tage Thompson hat trick before beating the Minnesota Wild 5-4 on the weekend. The two wins should give the Sabres a nice momentum boost after knocking off a couple of playoff teams in the Caps and Wild.
Craig Anderson is the expected goalie for Monday night against the Flyers. The veteran netminder has a record of 7-5-1 this season with a phenomenal .926 save percentage, providing sturdy goaltending in spot duty for the Sabres this season.
