The Buffalo Sabres were looking to extend their win streak to three on Wednesday night with a road game against the Philadelphia Flyers. Unfortunately, it felt like the game was over before it even really got started, with the Flyers scoring three goals in under a minute in the first period, and they cruised to a 5-2 win.
