Model vs marketWhere the model and the market disagree

On our numbers the Flyers win this 37.3% of the time. The market said 36.5¢ at the mid and 37¢ to buy, so the edge works out to +0.8¢ vs the mid and +0.3¢ vs the ask.

The other side, the Sabres, traded at 63.5¢ against a model number of 62.7%.

Liquidity on the market was about $211K when we pulled the book (Oct 21, 2026, 21:51 UTC+8). NHL leans need at least 3.0¢ of edge at the ask.

MatchupInputs

First-listed goalies on ESPN: Joseph Woll for the Flyers and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen for the Sabres. That listing is not a confirmation.

BooksWhat the books say

Over at DraftKings it was BUF -185 with the total at 5.5. No-vig, the Flyers come out at 37.8%.

The model and the books are basically in the same place on this one.

AvailabilityWho's in, who's out

For the Sabres, ESPN had Rasmus Dahlin (upper body, day-to-day) and Jason Zucker (abdomen, injured reserve).

ESPN's injury report for the Flyers: Cam York (upper body, injured reserve), Owen Tippett (upper body, injured reserve), and Tyson Foerster (hand, day-to-day).

We left out 2 older ESPN notes that referred to a different game day.

VerdictBottom line

We passed. +0.3¢ of executable edge on the Flyers isn't enough (the bar is 3.0¢), so this one stays off the record.
