For the first time this season, the Philadelphia Flyers elected to start Brian Elliott. He replaced Carter Hart after a nightmare start on Monday night. Alain Vigneault offered a new look, and it paid off. The Flyers defeated the Buffalo Sabres, 3-0. Here’s how it all took place from the Wells Fargo Center.
First Period
Similar to last night, Philadelphia won the opening draw. This time, the opening faceoff victory was credited to Scott Laughton. In the beginning stages of the period, the Flyers found themselves on a two-man disadvantage. Robert Hagg served a minor penalty for interference followed by Michael Raffl for high sticking.
