Sabres end 18-game skid with 6-1 win over Flyers

Associated Press  

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Embarrassment for Brandon Montour and the Buffalo Sabres turned into relief on Wednesday night. The Sabres ended their 18-game skid — the NHL’s longest in 17 years — with a resounding 6-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. “They pulled together instead of apart, and that showed that they learned.” Buffalo’s Sam Reinhart and Curtis Lazar scored 2:27 apart in the opening period. We’ve got to make sure we’re ready to get the two points.” Elliott, who stopped 29 shots on Monday and shut out Buffalo twice already this season, dropped to 17-3-2 for his career against the Sabres. This time, the Sabres made their lead stick, even after Provorov’s shot from the left point banked in off Montour, or while being outshot 11-0 through the first nine minutes of the second.
