Jeff Skinner, Tage Thompson and Peyton Krebs each scored twice, and the Buffalo Sabres handed Philadelphia its 11th consecutive loss with a 6-3 victory over the Flyers on Saturday.

Philadelphia’s skid matches the Arizona Coyotes and New York Islanders for the longest in the NHL this season. It is one short of the franchise record of 12 straight losses set in 1999. The Flyers are the first team in 11 years to lose 10 in a row twice in the same season.“Right now it feels like we’re hitting rock bottom, and it just feels like we can’t catch a break,” said Flyers captain Claude Giroux, who tipped in two goals.

“I challenged our guys from a leadership perspective,” Sabres coach Don Granato said. “The teams that are successful, you have leadership right throughout the entire team.” “We haven’t been able to close out games, and I think that everyone has been taking that to heart,” Thompson said. “We’ve been trying to correct, and I think that everyone could see it with the way that we played today.”

Skinner gave Buffalo the lead 1:29 into the game and was set up by Dahlin on a power play 4:36 into the third. Skinner leads the Sabres with 16 goals, and Dahlin recorded his team-best 21st assist.Giroux redirected Travis Konecny’s shot past Houser on a power play with 5:10 remaining in the game for his 14th goal.
