Flyers 6, Sabres 2: That was fun, let’s do it again some time!

This game pretty much encapsulated the best and worst of this team, from a mess of a start to a hellacious finish.

1. A horrific start

The Flyers got their fair share of chances offensively, but they were an absolute mess defensively for the first 20 minutes of this game. Buffalo was living in the slot and crease to start this game, and Jack Eichel was skating circles around the defense. His first goal of the period was an absolute laser; flying through the neutral zone past Gudas, he wired a puck far post to beat Stolarz and put the Sabres up early.
