KEY GAME INFORMATION
BUFFALO: LAST SEASON: 35-36-11, 81 points. Finished 23rd in NHL after two consecutive last-place finishes, and missed playoffs for fifth consecutive season.
COACH: Dan Bylsma (second season, eighth NHL season)
ADDED: F Kyle Okposo, D Dmitry Kulikov, G Anders Nilsson.
LOST: F David Legwand, D Mark Pysyk, G Chad Johnson.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Jack Eichel. Selected with the No. 2 pick in the 2015 draft behind Edmonton's Connor McDavid, Eichel finished second among NHL rookies with 56 points (24 goals, 32 assists). The 19-year-old displayed breakaway speed and a powerful shot. Eichel is being counted upon to become more consistent now that he has a full season behind him. Eichel went through an 11-game slump spanning November and December, during which he combined for a goal and three assists.
OUTLOOK: The expectations are higher for a Sabres team that made the jump from rock bottom to being relevant by finishing 23rd last season following two consecutive last place finishes. Though missed playoffs for fifth consecutive year, Buffalo showed signs of jelling by closing last year with a 16-10-7 run. Additions of Okposo and Kulikov adds experienced top-line depth to young core. Big question mark is whether G Robin Lehner can establish himself as trusted starter after two injury-shortened seasons.
PHILADELPHIA: LAST SEASON: 41-27-14, 96 points. Fifth in Metropolitan Division. Lost to Washington Capitals in first round.
COACH: Dave Hakstol (41-27-14, second NHL season)
ADDED: F Dale Weise, C Boyd Gordon.
LOST: D Evgeny Medvedev; F Ryan White, F R.J. Umberger.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Shayne Gostisbehere. The defenseman burst onto the scene as a rookie with 17 goals and 46 points in just 64 games. With his "Ghost" nickname, he became an instant fan favorite and is one of the core players the Flyers will build around. He has to prove he's no one-season wonder and his body can hold up for all 82 games.
OUTLOOK: The Flyers are celebrating their golden anniversary with a bang. There are tributes and alumni games planned and few teams showcase their history quite like the Flyers. But it's been 40 years since the Flyers last won a Stanley Cup and that number should grow by one this year. The Flyers should make the playoffs as a wild-card entry, but winning a series would make this season a success.
PREVIEW
Flyers return home to face rested Sabres

PHILADELPHIA -- Coming off a tough 3-1 loss in Montreal on Monday night, the Flyers packed their bags and boarded a late flight back to Philadelphia, where they will take on the injury-depleted Buffalo Sabres at the Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday night.

The Flyers (2-3-1) received a strong, 30-save effort from goaltender Steve Mason against the Canadiens but could not solve Montreal goaltender Carey Price, who turned away 32 of their 33 shots.

"We played well," Flyers right winger Jakub Voracek said in Montreal. "It was a good road game. I thought we skated well. Same with the other game we lost this year (in Chicago). We were right there in the third period."

Mason said, "The nice thing, is we can get right back at it (Tuesday night) and hopefully get a better result at home."

Unlike the start of last season, when Claude Giroux and Voracek combined for just three goals in their first 35 games, the two already have a totaql of three goals and 12 assists in their first six games this season.

The Sabres (1-2-1) arrived in Philadelphia on Monday, several hours before the Flyers. They have not played since a 2-1 loss to the Canucks in Vancouver on Thursday, and their three points are the fewest in the Eastern Conference.

Both teams are expected to go with their backup goaltenders. Flyers netminder Michal Neuvirth (1-0-0, 4.23 goals-against average, .854 save percentage) is likely to see his first action since being pulled in the 7-4 loss to the Blackhawks on Oct. 18.

The Sabres will go with goaltender Anders Nilsson in place of regular starter Robin Lehner, who remained home in Buffalo with an illness. Lehner played in each of the Sabres' first four games, in which Buffalo was outscored 12-11.

Nilsson, 26, went 10-13-2 with the Edmonton Oilers and St. Louis Blues last season. He was traded to the Sabres last summer for a seventh-round pick.

The Sabres recalled goalie Linus Ullmark from Rochester of the AHL to serve as Nilsson's backup on Tuesday night.

In an effort to ignite an offense that has been without dynamic forwards Jack Eichel (high ankle sprain, six weeks) and Evander Kane (fractured ribs, one to two weeks), the Sabres likely will have a new look on their top two lines and their bottom two defense pairs Tuesday.

Buffalo coach Dan Bylsma said he would move 20-year-old Sam Reinhart from right wing to center in an effort to get more offense out of the third-year forward. Through four games, Reinhart has no goals and two assists. He will skate between left winger Tyler Ennis and right winger Zemgus Girgensons. Ennis has no goals and one assist, and Girgensons has one goal.

"When I'm at my best, I'm moving my feet," Reinhart told the Buffalo News. "I'm taking up time and space on the forecheck. At times when I move to center, it helps me do that."

On the back end, the Sabres' top pairing of Josh Gorges and Rasmus Ristolainen will remain intact, but Dmitry Kulikov will move up to play alongside Zach Bogosian on the second pair, and Jake McCabe will play beside Cody Franson on the third grouping.
