Brink, who missed all six games of the team's losing streak, brought some much-welcome speed and energy in the team's 2-1 win over Vegas.

Rasmus Dahlin scored a pair of power-play goals and the Buffalo Sabres won for the 14th time in their last 16 games, 5-2 over the Philadelphia Flyers.

Even with the loss, the suddenly banged-up (no Jamie Drysdale, Bobby Brink or Travis Konecny) Flyers still hold the third spot in the Metropolitan Division standings.

Zibanejad became the Rangers’ all-time leader in power-play goals and his three-goal performance tied the team record for most career hat tricks in New York’s 6-3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.

Six years ago, the Dayton Flyers traveled to Philadelphia for two Atlantic 10 Conference games in four days in the first week of January.

The answer for the kill: Be more active in puck pursuit. Try to be more disruptive at center ice rather than let teams set up and create good scoring chances off the rush. Big guys like Rasmus Ristolainen should be warriors in front of the net, clearing things out so goaltenders can see shots better.

The Flyers conceded five goals for the fifth straight game and were outclassed by a New York team that conceded 10 goals in a game last weekend and essentially quit on its season on Friday.

Philadelphia Flyers forward Rodrigo Abols left Saturday’s game against the New York Rangers with a lower-body injury and will not return, according to a Flyers media release.
