Flyers vs Sabres Betting Pick

This game will be played at KeyBank Center at 7:00 PM ET Monday, January 9, 2023.

Why Bet Tage Thompson to Score:

There is not a lot of value on the side or total in this game. With the Sabres juiced all the way up along with the over, looking at the prop market for value seems like the way to go for this game,

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.
