BUFFALO, N.Y. - R.J. Umberger and the Philadelphia Flyers broke out of a pair of slumps in style, adding to the Buffalo Sabres misery in the process.Umbergers second-period goal snapped the fourth-longest goalless streak in Flyers history at 168:50, and Philadelphia went on to end a six-game road losing streak with a 4-3 win over Buffalo on Saturday night.No one likes our situation in the standings, Umberger said. But were still playing hockey for a living, so were going to have fun and dig ourselves out of it one game at a time. With the right attitude thats how we can do it, and I think we had it tonight.Tied at 2 in the third, Philadelphia found the lead for good in a fitting way given their scoring struggles when Chris VandeVelde whiffed on a breakaway move only to have the puck elude Michal Neuvirth.I kind of lost control, I think the guy was pressuring me pretty good from behind there, VandeVelde said. It just hit my stick and found a way in.Mark Streit and Mike Raffl also scored for Philadelphia, which won its fourth straight against the Sabres. Eleven different Flyers picked up a point on the night.Zemgus Girgensons scored two goals, and Tyler Ennis added one for Buffalo, which became the first team since the 2006 Pittsburgh Penguins to lose 10 consecutive games in regulation, according to STATS.The skid is two shy of Buffalos worst, set in 1991 and matched in 2002.It was a step up from Thursdays 7-0 loss to Minnesota, and Sabres head coach Ted Nolan could only shake his head.As long as the energy there and the compete levels there, thats all you can ask, Nolan said.Both teams were sloppy early, and Girgensons awakened the arena with 1:09 left in the first when he made it 1-0. Brian Flynn and Chris Stewart dug the puck out of a scrum and worked it to the slot, where Girgensons one-timed a shot that beat Zepp high.He ended up one-timing it off the post, said Zepp, who finished with 24 saves. Nice play but I want to fight through traffic a little better there.With Girgensons in the box for holding, Umberger tied it by redirecting Matt Reads point shot over Michal Neuvirths shoulder at 4:25 of the second.And like that, the goalless streak was history.We know it feels long, Umberger said. Trust me we have a group of guys here that love scoring goals and some of the guys do it often, so to go a couple games without scoring definitely feels long.Streit made it 2-1 less than 4 minutes later with another power-play goal. Philadelphia worked the puck around the Sabres penalty killers until the veteran defenceman had an open point shot that beat Neuvirth to his right.The Flyers earned a third power play in the second, but it nearly turned Buffalos way when Girgensons stripped Streit at the blue line for a breakaway. Zepp stayed with Girgensons left-handed move to push the chance wide.Hes got a great set of hands so I tried to be patient and wait for him to make the move, Zepp said. I was able to explode to the post there.The Sabres had another short-handed chance on the same penalty when Flynns backhand shot on a partial breakaway was shouldered away by Zepp.Buffalo broke through on Ennis goal at 19:05 of the second. Rasmus Ristolainens long slap shot hit the post to the left of Zepp. Matt Moulson dug the puck free for Ennis, whose close-range backhanded shot beat the goalie to tie it 2-2.Play was stopped early in the third when Nikita Zadorov dropped Pierre-Edouard Bellemare with a shoulder to the body. Bellemare was still on the ice for a few seconds before skating off on his own. Zadorov wasnt penalized.Philadelphia took a 3-2 lead on VandeVeldes breakaway. The Flyers centre lost control of the puck, and the lack of a move fooled Neuvirth, and the puck went in between his legs.Raffl doubled the Flyers advantage with a rebound goal at 8:39 of the third.Girgensons made it 4-3 with a power-play goal with 1:09 remaining.We worked way harder, Girgensons said. We wanted this one. Its just we made mistakes that shouldnt have been made.Buffalos last game before the All Star Break is Sunday in Detroit, while Philadelphia plays two more games before beginning its break.NOTES: The Flyers recalled forward Jason Akeson from Lehigh Valley of the AHL. ...

Wayne Simmonds scored two goals and the Flyers beat the Dallas Stars 4-2 Thursday night for their fourth straight win. Mark Streit and Michael Raffl also scored for Philadelphia, which improved to 11-2-1 in its last 14 games while maintaining its hold on second place in the Metropolitan Division. Despite the victory, head coach Craig Berube was concerned with the teams "sloppy" play, particularly the second period when Philadelphia allowed 17 shots and three power plays. "Tonight wasnt as good, for sure," Berube said. "We were sloppy tonight, at times. Overall our team is competing hard, working hard and playing like a team, and thats what you have to do. They know it wasnt good enough tonight, but we won." Jamie Benn scored twice for Dallas, which lost its fourth straight. The Stars began the day two points behind Phoenix for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Stars coach Lindy Ruff actually saw positives in the defeat. "If we play like that night after night, well win," Ruff said. "We didnt give up a lot in the game. We gave up four goals but we didnt give up four goals on a lot of opportunities and zone time. Our puck movement was good. The margin of victory, that game couldve went either way real fast." Simmonds scored his second of the game with 7:39 left to put Philadelphia ahead 3-1. After skating across the blue line, Simmonds fired a wrist shot that beat Tim Thomas to the stick side. "Thats a save I should make," Thomas said. "The team really needed it at the time, and I really feel bad for the guys for the game they played. Thats hockey. But I can guarantee Im going to be better for the guys from here on out." Just 30 seconds later, Benn scored his second of the contest by finishing a rebound from in front of the crease after Tyler Seguins shot followed a poor Philadelphia turnover in its own end. It was the 29th goal of the season for Benn, who has points in eight of his last nine games. Raffl provided soome insurance for Philadelphia by beating Thomas with a backhander on a breakaway with 3:12 to play.dddddddddddd The Flyers took a 2-0 lead after one period. Streit opened the scoring with 9:37 left in the first when he beat Thomas to the glove side with a one-timed slap shot from the top of the left circle. Thomas, Dallas backup, got the start because he entered 14-4-2 with a 2.21 goals-against average and .934 save percentage in his career against Philadelphia. The Stars starting goalie, Kari Lehtonen, is 0-10-2 with a 3.50 goals-against and .891 save percentage lifetime against the Flyers. Simmonds scored on a rebound on the power play just under three minutes later to put Philadelphia in front 2-0. Jakub Voraceks shot from the blue line first hit the right post, then the back of Thomas leg and then the left post before deflecting in front to a wide-open Simmonds, who easily finished from lose range. After Steve Mason stopped Alex Chiasson and Benn on a 5-on-3 power play with 8 minutes remaining in the second period, Benn got the Stars on the board with 7:12 left in the period on a 5-on-4 advantage by beating Mason through the five-hole from right in front of the goal to pull Dallas within 2-1. It was the first power-play goal allowed by the Flyers in their last 20 penalty kills. And despite dominating the period, Dallas entered the third down one goal. "We got on our toes and skated well," Ruff said of the second period. "You have to give Mason a lot of credit. We couldve built some momentum and he made a couple timely saves." Tyler Seguin finished with two assists, giving him 14 points (six goals, eight assists) in his last eight games while extending his career-high total to 72 points.
