Philly comeback staggers Buffalo; Tampa Ray romps
PHILADELPHIA — Claude Giroux and Jake Voracek scored shootout goals to cap a Philadelphia Flyers rally in a 4-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night.
Trailing 3-1, Brayden Schenn and Mark Streit scored the tying power-play goals in the final 3:05 of regulation.
Buffalo’s Dmitry Kulikov was whistled for charging when he wiped out Voracek late in the game to start a scrum between the two teams. Schenn quickly followed with a power-play goal with 3:05 left to make it 3-2. Streit scored with 1:51 left in regulation when he knocked in the puck on the fourth rebound past a stunned Anders Nilsson.
