Through nine minutes, shots on goal were 5-1 Flyers. Philly really did a good job of taking away time and space over the first half of the period. With 7:10 left, Vladar stopped a right circle wrist shot.<\/p>\n
With 5:51 remaining, Jamie Drysdale killed a developing scoring chance for Buffalo. On the next shift, Porter Martone fired two attempts at the net. Behind the play, at 15:13, Samuelsson and Hunter McDonald dropped the gloves after a clean McDonald hit on Ryan McLeod.<\/p>\n
Samuelsson received an instigation minor and 10-minute misconduct. The Flyers went to the power play. A good chance for Michkov was stopped from the circle after a pass out from Dvorak.<\/p>\n
The Flyers iced the puck at 17:30. Buffalo pulled Luukkonen for a 6-on-5 attack.\u00a0 Vladar made a tough stop on Quinn, and then an even tougher one. Knuble finally cleared the zone, accepting hard hit from Rasmus Dahlin to do so.<\/p>\n
Shots: Flyers 7 (26 overall) – Sabres 5 (28 overall)<\/p>\n
Faceoffs: Flyers 6 (21 overall) – Sabres 9 (27 overall)<\/p>\n

POSTGAME RAV4 (RAV 4 Things Revisited)<\/p>\n
1. Power Play: Zegras on Left Side<\/p>\n
The Flyers power play looked much more effective against Ottawa and Colorado with Trevor Zegras moving from the right half-boards to the left side. On Wednesday, the Flyers cashed in on their first power play. Zegras had the goal, albeit from near the crease.<\/p>\n
2. Michkov<\/p>\n
Matvei Michkov took First Star honors in Philly’s previous two games, and he brought a three-game goal scoring streak (four goals, five points overall) into the nationally televised Buffalo match. In this game, Michkov extended his point streak.<\/p>\n
3. Keep up Recent Shooting Mentality<\/p>\n
The Flyers had to be patient for their chances in the first period. They started to generate more attack later on in the game (even as they’d already led).<\/p>\n
4. Between the Pipes<\/p>\n
Vladar brought back-to-back strong starts into the Buffalo game. On this night, the Czech netminder keyed the Flyers to a lead in a game where they were getting significantly out-chanced. The team buckled down in the third period. Vladar made a couple more clutch saves when needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Through nine minutes, shots on goal were 5-1 Flyers.
