A day after Brian Elliott shuts out the Buffalo Sabres, the Philadelphia Flyers do it again with Carter Hart.
Yesterday, the Buffalo Sabres were without Jack Eichel. His absence hurt the Sabres’ powerplay as they couldn’t convert against one of the worst penalty kill units in the league. The Philadelphia Flyers secured their second shutout against Buffalo this season. Today, Ralph Krueger and the Sabres made changes to give themselves a better chance.
Jack Eichel did return to the lineup. For the Flyers, Philippe Myers and Carter Hart stepped into the lineup.
