PHILADELPHIA -For the third game in a row, the Buffalo Sabres found themselves lamenting an incomplete effort following a 4-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday afternoon. Unlike in their last two games, however, it wasn't their start that they were unhappy with.
Buffalo controlled the play in the first period and took the lead on a power-play goal from Ryan O'Reilly early in the second. Philadelphia captured momentum from that point on, taking a 2-1 lead into the second intermission and finally adding two more goals in the game's final minutes.
