Knuble Doubles Up in Buffalo as Flyers Take Third Straight
The forward's first two NHL goals this season, both at even strength, help Philadelphia leave Buffalo with a road win.
Cole Knuble scored twice in Philadelphia's 3-1 win at Buffalo, and he did it in just 10:24 of ice time. That was 17th among the 18 Flyers skaters and 11th among their 12 forwards.
Both goals came at even strength, the first in the 1st period at 14:49 and the second early in the 3rd at 3:03. He put four shots on net over 17 shifts, finished plus-2, and had one giveaway. No hits, no blocks, no penalties.
This was a clear step up. Through two games this season he has two goals, and both came tonight. His season average ice time is 12.1 minutes, so he scored more than he played.
The game's scoring was split across the lineup. Knuble's pair accounted for two of the three Flyers goals. The win lifts Philadelphia to 2-6-3, still in the playoff race.
