Overview
- The Flyers beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-1 on Wednesday night to extend their winning streak to three games after an 0-6-3 start to the season.
- Cole Knuble, recalled from Lehigh Valley on Monday, scored his first two NHL goals in his second game with primary assists on both coming from young defenseman Oliver Bonk.
- Goaltender Dan Vladar made a string of key saves, stopping 26–27 shots and preserving a 2-0 first-period lead while the Sabres outshot Philadelphia overall.
- Buffalo reinserted veterans Jason Zucker and Rasmus Dahlin with Zucker scoring, but the Sabres could not convert their possession and shot advantage into a comeback.
- The Flyers’ run highlights the impact of young call-ups and improved goaltending but represents a small sample size that will be tested by upcoming games and pending roster decisions.
