In the front end of a weekend back-to-back set of matinees, the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the host Buffalo Sabres, 3-0, on Saturday afternoon. Philadelphia was the better team in all three periods.

A first period goal by Sean Couturier (4th of the season) and a second period tallies by Shayne Gostisbehere (2nd) and Scott Laughton (5th) built a 3-0 lead. The Flyers did not allow Buffalo to dent the advantage in the third period.

Brian Elliott notched a 22-save shutout; his second shutout of the season against Buffalo. Carter Hutton denied 36 of 39 Flyers shots in a losing cause.
