Plus-1: Capitalizing, Over and Over
As much as the Sabres have struggled this season, the Flyers headed into Saturday afternoon’s game in an incredibly tough position: having lost their last ten games. Coming in with something of an upper hand, Buffalo wasted no time and capitalized on Philadelphia’s small mistakes over and over.
Jeff Skinner opened the scoring with a beautiful goal just 1:29 in, picking up a backhand pass from Alex Tuch and sniping it in behind Martin Jones from right in front of the net.
