Evan Rodrigues had a goal and an assist in Buffalo’s four-goal first period, and the host Sabres extended their winning streak to seven games Wednesday with a 5-2 victory over the Flyers.
“That was written on our white board — making sure we’re ready to start,” said right wing Tage Thompson, who scored Buffalo’s second goal. “We want to be on the winning side starting from the drop of the puck.”

Sam Reinhart, Jeff Skinner and Johan Larsson also scored for Buffalo, which came from behind in its previous three victories.
“It’s good for one that we’re learning,” Sabres captain Jack Eichel said.
