The Flyers fell to the Sabres for the second night in a row, this time with a 5-3 loss at the Wells Fargo Center on Sunday.
The Buffalo Sabres snuffed out every bit of momentum the Flyers found in their failed attempt to take one game in the three-game series, and, for the second night in a row, the Flyers fell to the Sabres, this time with a 5-3 loss at the Wells Fargo Center on Sunday.
The Flyers almost cut the lead in the third on Travis Konecny’s breakaway, but the missed shot turned into a Jeff Skinner breakaway. Felix Sandström stood strong and made the save to keep Buffalo’s score at four, giving his team a chance to draw within one when Zack MacEwen knocked in a loose puck with just under six minutes to go. The Flyers pulled Sandström with two minutes to go and Thompson scored on an empty netter.
The Flyers gave up two power-play goals to Buffalo Saturday. On Sunday, they gave up another 8 minutes, 36 seconds into the game. The Flyers killed off 53 seconds before Olofsson scored. The Flyers looked much better on the second penalty kill and almost killed it off before the Sabres scored on the very last second. The Sabres’ power play went 7-for-10 in three games against the Flyers.
“I think I’ve gotten more comfortable and hold onto the puck a little longer to make some plays and make something happen,” Cates said. Beyond scoring, Cates’ play has led to more ice time, opportunities on higher lines, and responsibilities, like playing on the penalty kill. Having come from a winning college program at the University of Minnesota Duluth, Cates said he hopes to bring a winning mentality to the Flyers. However, something’s currently missing in the locker room.
