BUFFALO, N.Y. — Defenseman Radko Gudas had a goal and two assists to help the Philadelphia Flyers to a 6-3 win against the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center on Tuesday.
Gudas gave the Flyers a 2-1 lead at 4:58 of the second period when he received a pass from Sean Couturier and shot high past goalie Robin Lehner for his fourth goal.
Gudas, who was plus-5, assisted on Matt Read’s goal that gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead at 4:34 of the first and Travis Konecny’s goal at 5:21 of the third that made it 6-2.
The Flyers (31-26-8) have won two of their past three games (2-0-1). The Sabres (27-28-12) have lost three straight (0-2-1).
Konecny and Jordan Weal each had a goal and an assist.
Weal gave the Flyers a 3-2 lead at 13:48 of the second period when a pass from Jakub Voracek deflected off his skate past Lehner for his second goal.
Claude Giroux made it 4-2 with 1:58 left in the second when he put a rebound of a Michael Del Zotto shot past Lehner. His 13th goal was his first since Feb. 2, ending a 12-game drought.
Chris VandeVelde made it 5-2 at 2:45 of the third period when he deflected a shot by Del Zotto past Lehner.
Sabres center Jack Eichel had two goals and an assist to extend his point streak to 11 games (five goals, 11 assists).

Eichel, who had an assist on Evander Kane’s goal at 15:25 of the first period to tie it 1-1, scored his second of the night at 14:50 of the third to make it 6-3. The points extended his point-scoring streak to 11 games, 1 shy of the longest point-scoring streak this season.
