The Philadelphia Flyers took a 1-0 lead over the Buffalo Sabres less than two minutes into Tuesday night’s contest at the Wells Fargo Center thanks to James van Riemsdyk’s eleventh tally of the year. Everything looked as it should, the perfect Get-Right Game coming off three losses in their last four games.
Yet, somehow, Buffalo, a team that had either been shutout or held to two goals in six straight, lead 3-1 after 20 minutes.
Carter Hart (3 goals against on 8 shots) gave way to Brian Elliott to start the middle frame, and the comeback was on.
