With Sean Couturier out for the next couple weeks the Philadelphia Flyers were going to need a more collective effort to replace his presence in the lineup. It’s safe to say that didn’t happen last night in the first half of the Orange and Black’s back-to-back against the Buffalo Sabres as the temporary divisional foe chased Carter Hart with four goals in a little over 28 minutes in a 6-1 thrashing. Luckily for the Flyers if there was ever a season to put a burn-the-tape type performance immediately in the rearview mirror it’s this one, as they’ll square off against the Sabres tonight for a second time in two days.
