Carcillo, Emery Lead Flyers Past Sabres
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Daniel Carcillo scored twice and Ray Emery made 28 saves to lead the Philadelphia Flyers to their fifth straight victory over the Buffalo Sabres, 5-2 on Friday night.
Chris Pronger had a goal and assist, and James van Riemsdyk and Darroll Powe also scored. The Flyers (8-4-1) have won three straight by a combined score of 17-5.
Sabres try to get by Flyers
It seemed like every time the Sabres played the Flyers last season it was a good, close game for two periods and then a few things would go wrong for Buffalo and the Flyers would pull away and win. Martin Biron beat them all four times last season but he is now an Islander.

All On The Ice At Practice
