On the backs of an outstanding second period and a strong effort from its middle-six, the Flyers fended off the Sabres to get their first win in a week. Here's what we noticed.
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night's game with an analytical eye.
- Last Tuesday's game against Anaheim saw the Flyers largely get sunk by an exceedingly poor first period, one in which the visitors controlled the shot clock 15-5 en route to two goals. Despite not actually getting on the board, the Sabres ended the first period with a significant shot attempt advantage, up 14-6 in shots on goal and 29-11 in total shot attempts (via).
