Final
Sabres visit Flyers in regular-season finale
Apr 8, 2007 - 4:10 PM Buffalo (21-48-12) at Philadelphia (53-21-7) 1:00 pm EDTPHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- The Buffalo Sabres already have locked up the NHL's regular-season title. They now have just one more tuneup before they begin their quest for an even larger prize.
The Sabres wrap up their sensational regular season Sunday when they visit the Philadelphia Flyers.
Buffalo has won three straight games to clinch the best record in franchise history and its first Presidents' Trophy, given to the team that accumulates the most points over the course of the season. The Sabres have never won a Stanley Cup.
The Sabres, who have clinched home-ice advantage throughout the playoffs, will be trying to sweep the season series from Philadelphia for the first time since 2001-02.
The Flyers are assured of finishing with the lowest point total in franchise history, breaking the previous low of 58 in 1969-70.
