#66 ASA PLAY ON 8* Philadelphia -141 over Buffalo, Tuesday at 7 PM ET - The Flyers got blasted by the Sabres last night. Philadelphia came out with a listless performance right from the opening drop of the puck. Philly was caught still celebrating their perfect start to the season with a 2-0 sweep of the in-state rival Penguins and they paid for it. Now, after a 6-1 beatdown in which the Flyers were outshot 11-4 in the first period and then also got outshot in each of the successive periods as well, the home team will be ready for payback here. Adding to the value is the Flyers gave some ice time yesterday to both goalies, Carter Hart and Brian Elliott, and either will be fine to return here for a full game in this back-to-back. For the Sabres, Linus Ullmark was supposed to start yesterday's game but ended up out due to personal reasons and Buffalo called up Jonas Johansson from the taxi squad. Johansson has only made a handful of NHL starts in his young career. So the choices tonight are Hutton off a full game performance last night where he wasn't tested much by the Flyers or the inexperienced Johansson. Neither scenario seems good for Buffalo and the netminder they choose will face a barrage of shots as Philly bounces back tonight. The Flyers are projected to be one of the best teams in this division while the Sabres entered this 2-game series 0-2 and are projected to be one of the worst teams in the division. Look for things to return to normal tonight after last night's aberration. 8* PHILADELPHIA
