‘This season’s run can be traced to the last time the Sabres were in Philadelphia. They took a 2-0 lead after one period only to see the Flyers score the next seven goals en route to a 7-2 victory which dropped the Sabres to No. 14 in the conference. Since then, however, the Sabres are 15-4-4 and enter Thursday with 88 points, the same as the eighth-place Capitals.’
