It was a day for breaking streaks — but not for the Flyers, whose skid extended to 11 with their 6-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres.
The Sabres, who are 13-21-7, had not won at home since Nov. 26. Helped by Flyers penalties and their power play unit, which went three-for-four, the Sabres snapped their nine-game home skid with a dominant win.
Despite giving up the first goal, the Flyers quickly responded with goals from former Sabre Rasmus Ristolainen and Claude Giroux. They had momentum and the lead going into the final five minutes of the first.
