Raffl expected back as Flyers face Sabres

The Flyers have started games better than last season, scoring the first goals in five of their first seven contests. They have also played a more complete game, rarely taking a period off - something that plagued them last season.

They will try to continue those characteristics Tuesday, attempting to build off their impressive 4-2-1 start against visiting Buffalo and hotshot rookie Jack Eichel.

It appears that left winger Michael Raffl, who collapsed on the bench early in the second period Saturday and had to be helped to the locker room, will be back on the top line against the Sabres.
