Travis Konecny, Noah Cates and Bobby Brink each had a goal and an assist, and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Buffalo Sabres 5-2 on Wednesday night for their fourth win in five games.<\/p>\n

Trevor Zegras and Owen Tippett also scored and Travis Sanheim and Matvei Michkov each had two assists to help the Flyers get their ninth win in 14 games (9-3-2). Samuel Ersson stopped 24 shots.<\/p>\n

Jason Zucker and Bowen Byram scored for the Sabres, and Colten Ellis finished with 30 saves. Buffalo snapped a two-game win streak and lost for the fourth time in 10 games. <\/p>\n

The Sabres got on the scoreboard first on Zucker’s power-play goal 4:08 into the game. Shane Doan sent a pass from behind the net to Zucker in front, and he quickly put it past Ersson for his eighth.<\/p>\n

The Flyers then took control with three goals in 59 seconds for a 3-1 lead before the midpoint of the period.<\/p>\n

Konecny tied it with a power-play goal on a point shot through traffic at 8:26. <\/p>\n

With the Flyers back on the advantage after an unsuccessful challenge on the goal, Zegras put them ahead at 9:04 as his pass for Konecny riccocheted<\/a> off the skate of Buffalo’s Ryan McLeod and in past Ellis. It was Zegras’ 10th.<\/p>\n

Brink capped the flurry for a two-goal lead 21 seconds later as he scored from the left side<\/a> on the rebound of a shot by Cates.<\/p>\n

Just 5 seconds after another Flyers power play expired, Cates redirected a pass from Brink at 1:45 of the second to push the lead to 4-1.<\/p>\n

Byram pulled the Sabres back within two with 8:12 remaining in the middle period, but Tippett restored the Flyers’ three-goal lead 55 seconds later.<\/p>\n
