The Flyers traveled to Buffalo tonight for a matchup with the Sabres. Marty Biron got the start in goal, he seems to be getting all of them lately, and was solid saving 39 of the 43 shots he faced. Meanwhile, Danny Briere scored twice, his first goals since the beginning of the season, to help the lead the Flyers to a win. Late in the first period Mike Richards scored off the power play for a 1-0 lead. Thomas Vanek and Dominic Moore each scored early in the 2nd period for a 2-1 Sabre's lead. Simon Gagne scored another power play goal to knot it up at 2 midway through the period. Late in the period Derek Roy put Buffalo back up 3-2. A few minutes later Briere scored his first to knot it up at 3. A few minutes later with just under 40 seconds left in the period Briere scored his 2nd for a 4-3 lead. Early in the 3rd period Mike Knuble scored for a 5-3 lead. Late in the period Jeff Carter made it 6-3. Finally with 2 seconds to play Chris Butler slapped one home to make the final score 6-4 Flyers. So the Orange and Black improve to 38-22-10 with 86 points overall and remain 4th in the Eastern conference.
