Lindy Ruff became the NHL's fifth coach to reach 900 wins in the Buffalo Sabres' 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers in each team's season finale.

Michkov's quick response to Krebs' shorthanded goal made clear that the flyers weren't just going down meekly in the final game of the season. The Foerster tally in the opening 15 seconds of the third period made the rest of the game suspenseful.

The hockey Gods gave Flyers fans what they wanted — and they came close to getting two things they’ve been clamoring for all season long. First, the Flyers lost 5-4 to the Buffalo Sabres and finished 5-3-1 under interim coach Brad Shaw.
