Flyers Lose To Buffalo Sabres In OT, 4-3

PHILADELPHIA (AP) --   Zemgus Girgensons scored on a breakaway with 2:31 left in overtime to lift the Buffalo Sabres to a 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night.

Jake McCabe, Tyler Ennis and Jame McGinn scored for Buffalo, which snapped a two-game skid while winning for the first time on the road in its third try.

Brayden Schenn had two goals and Chris VandeVelde also scored for Philadelphia.

After the Flyers turned it over in their end, Carlo Colaiacovo sent a long pass to a wide-open Girgensons, who beat Steve Mason through the five-hole.

Buffalo played its first game without top-line winger Evander Kane, who will miss 4-to-6 weeks after injuring his left knee in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Devils.

Michael Raffl returned to the ice for Philadelphia. He was accidentally struck in the head by the Rangers' Jarret Stoll on Saturday night, felt dizzy and then collapsed on the Flyers bench.
