Matvei Michkov scored two, the power play did something twice and the Flyers are now with two wins under the belt since John Tortorella’s dismissal thanks to a 7-4 win over the hapless Buffalo Sabres. It didn’t help with the lottery odds but seeing 13 goals in the last six periods of hockey has been refreshing.
