Flyers Aim for Third Straight Win
The Flyers open a stretch of improved form when they visit the Sabres. After starting the season with nine losses, they have captured their last two outings against clubs that reached the postseason a year ago. A victory would extend that streak to three games.
Sabres Search for Balance
Buffalo enters with a 4-3-2 mark after nine contests. Scoring has slipped to 3.00 goals per game from 3.45 a season earlier, while defensive numbers have risen to 3.67 goals allowed per game compared with 2.93 last year.
Tkachuk Returns to Ottawa
The Senators welcome the Panthers and Brady Tkachuk, who was traded to Florida in the offseason. Both clubs sit at 12 points in the Atlantic Division. Florida arrives after winning its past three games by an 18-8 margin. Ottawa captured five of its first six before dropping two of its last three.
