Buffalo vs Philadelphia Prediction and Odds on the Match on 18 April 2025

Another regular season NHL game is going to be held on the ice of the Keybank Centre in Buffalo on 18 April 2025. This one is between the local Buffalo team and Philadelphia. The start of the confrontation is scheduled for 02:00. Telecomasia has got you covered with a forecast from Buffalo to Philadelphia and all the key stats you need.

Buffalo

Buffalo just isn't cutting it. The Sabres started to rebuild their team not so long ago, but promising young players have gradually gained experience and improved. They seemed like they could compete for the playoffs last season, but to be honest they've only gone backwards.

This season, the Yellow and Blue team hasn't been performing well, and things got pretty bad towards the end. In their last four games, they lost to Columbus (2-3), Florida (2-3), Tampa Bay (4-7), and Toronto (0-4), which meant they fell to 14th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Philadelphia

Philadelphia is another team that's always been seen as the underdog. Even John Tortorella, who can get the most out of a mediocre team, couldn't get the best out of the Flyers, and at the end of the regular season he was retired, which obviously pleased a lot of players.

Straight after the famous mentor was fired, the Pennsylvanians got much better. In their last eight games, they only went scoreless twice, lost one more game in overtime and won five battles. But even this little burst of energy wasn't enough to get them above 15th place in the Eastern Conference.

Buffalo vs Philadelphia Match Prediction 18 April 2025

Buffalo and Philadelphia are two teams that are pretty much out of the running for the play-offs. But the guys in Pennsylvania have recently had a new head coach, which has given them a lift. The Flyers ended the regular season really well, so they should be able to put up a good fight against the Blades in the next round, even though the Blades lost in four games before. 

The match between Buffalo and Philadelphia is a pretty efficient one. In the last seven personal meetings, the opponents have definitely reached the TO, and a total of 53 goal takings (7.57 average per game) took place during this stretch. We don't think the teams will be focusing much on defence in the last match of the regular season.
