BUFFALO - in an attempt to jump-start his team's sagging offense, rookie coach Dave Hakstol made several lineup changes in Friday's game in Buffalo.
Most noticeably, two top-line players - right winger Jake Voracek and left winger Michael Raffl - were dropped to different units.
The Flyers began the night averaging 2.11 goals per game, 25th in the 30-team NHL.
Voracek, goalless in the first nine games, was shifted to the second line, while Raffl, who also entered the night without any goals, was moved to center on the third line.
"We didn't generate enough [Thursday], and we gave up too much," Hakstol, referring to a 4-1 loss to New Jersey, said before the game.
