Flyers goaltender Ivan Fedotov (right), making his first NHL start, stops a shot by Buffalo's Dylan Cozens in the first period. The Flyers have gone streaking — and not in a good way. They have hit a major pothole, one they are struggling to get out of and have grabbed a six-pack of losses thanks to a 4-2 defeat against the Buffalo Sabres .
The Flyers showed some signs of life in the game and seemed to dominate puck possession for long stretches. But a loss is still a loss, and there’s not much time left to right the ship as the Flyers have just five games left. The Flyers allowed four shots on goal in the first period, but one saw the back of the net. Tage Thompson was lost on the rush down the right side and made a slight deke before putting the puck in around the outstretched leg of Ivan Fedotov to give the Sabres a 1-0 lead
