Monday Morning Skate: How sweep it is

The Philadelphia Flyers went into Buffalo and swept away the Sabres this weekend. Not only was it a two-game sweep, but they shut out the Sabres in both games. They have now shut out the Sabres in three straight meetings.

The Flyers are off on Monday before heading to Pittsburgh on Tuesday night.
