PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Travis Konecny had two goals and an assist, heralded rookie Matvei Michkov added a pair of assists and the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Buffalo Sabres 5-2 on Saturday night. Rasmus Dahlin had a goal and an assist and Ryan McLeod scored for Buffalo, which lost for the second time in the last six. Dahlin scored on a slapshot midway through the third to extend his points streak to six consecutive games. Dahlin has five goals and four assists over his points streak. Ivan Fedotov made 23 saves for Philadelphia while Devon Levi had 27 stops. Travis Sanheim and Egor Zamula each had a goal and an assist and Tyson Foerster also scored for Philadelphia, which has won three in a row and four of five. Konecny added an empty-netter with 17.2 seconds remaining to up his team-leading season total to 11 goals. Michkov, the No. 7 pick in the 2023 draft, continues to impress. With his two assists on Saturday night, the 19-year-old now has 15 points in 16 games. Konecny’s finish on a 2-on-0 with Michkov gave the Flyers a 4-0 lead and essentially put the game out of reach for the Sabres. Flyers D Erik Johnson, who was traded from the Sabres last season, played in his 1,000th career game. The No. 1 overall pick in 2006, Johnson has 94 goals and 251 assists in his 17 seasons. The Sabres open a three-game road trip at Los Angeles on Wednesday night. The Flyers play the second of four in a row at home on Monday versus Colorado.
