The Sabres win! Howden almost back and Kravtsov sits
By Steve Paulus
East Division
As previously mentioned, the Flyers were pummeled by the Sabres 6-1, the fourth time Philadelphia has allowed six or more goals in the last nine games. As for the games on the schedule, rooting preferences are unclear, really a night to just hope that no team gets to overtime.
