‘“It’s amazing to see the maturity on a kid like that, and that was a huge goal to get us going,” O’Reilly said.’

‘When you compile 129 shots on goal in three games – probably a month’s worth last year – your offense is at full efficiency.’

‘“He’s played pro hockey in Sweden but it’s been on the big ice,” Bylsma said. “It’s a bit different of a game. … He’s a calm demeanor guy and I think the first game it didn’t look in place, but tonight more calm and collected and real confident.”’

‘All four of Eichel’s goals have come in Buffalo, putting him third behind Dallas’ Jamie Benn and Los Angeles’ Tyler Toffoli (five each) for most goals at home in the NHL.’

‘Don’t let the score fool you. It wasn’t that close.’

‘“He was just telling me to be smarter and be more vocal about what’s going on with my body,” he said. “I’ll take that into the future. I wasn’t feeling 100 percent, but I thought I could still perform. I wasn’t performing my best, and he knew that. I feel good now.”’

‘O’Reilly has four goals and nine assists through 11 games since being acquired from Colorado in the summer.’

‘Buffalo out-shot its opponent for the ninth time in 11 games after doing so in just 10 games all of last season.’

‘This has pretty much been the blue and gold show tonight, save for just a couple of minutes and a handful of chances for Philly. I have been impressed with Buffalo, especially beacuse this is their third game in four nights.’
