SERIES NOTES:

Post-series assessment: The Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Buffalo Sabres 4-games-3 in MLB/NBA/NHL best-of-7 playoff series 1123. With their series 1123 win, the Philadelphia Flyers improve their best-of-7 NHL playoff series record to 37-28 overall and 11-7 in the Preliminary round. With their series 1123 loss, the Buffalo Sabres see their best-of-7 NHL playoff series record fall to 15-25 overall (with an active three-series losing streak) and 7-10 in the Preliminary round. The win order posted by the victorious Philadelphia Flyers in series 1123 was LWWLLWW: Series 1123 thus becomes the third NHL Preliminary-round series, the ninth NHL series (all rounds), and the 15th MLB/NBA/NHL series (all rounds) to follow this win order to completion.

Pre-series assessment: In the 2010-11 regular season, Philadelphia finished ten points ahead of Buffalo. From 1939 through the 2010 NHL Finals, when NHL teams led their best-of-7 playoff series opponents by ten regular-season points, they have posted a 9-7 (.563) best-of-7 series record in those series against those opponents. MLB/NBA/NHL best-of-7 playoff series 1123 is the 40th best-of-7 playoff series for Buffalo, and the 65th for Philadelphia. In best-of-7 playoff series, Buffalo has a 15-24 series record, a 7-9 Prelim-round series record, and a 24-15 Game 1 record, while Philadelphia has a 36-28 series record, a 10-7 Prelim-round record, and a 30-34 Game 1 record. Series 1123 is the ninth best-of-7 NHL playoff series meeting between Buffalo and Philadelphia; Philadelphia won five of the previous eight, but, of those previous eight, Buffalo won three of the last four.
