Preview: Flyers head to Buffalo

Buckle up, Philly fans: you’re entering the Age of Tage. The Flyers hit the road after a blowout loss to the Leafs for their first game against the Buffalo Sabres this season. It’s the first time they’ll be facing Tage Thompson, who’s already scored over thirty goals and has three hat tricks this season—including one five-goal game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. It appears that Thompson’s scoring surge last season was no fluke, and that he is going to be a star player for a Sabres team on the rise. They’re 8-2-0 in their last ten, and are still very much in the mix for a wildcard spot in the competitive Atlantic Division.
