Philadelphia’s rookie forward Cole Knuble scores two goals as the Flyers beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-1, extending Philadelphia’s winning run to a third straight game. The reports say Knuble’s effort comes early in his NHL career, with some outlets noting it is his second career game and his first two career goals.
Several outlets also frame the game within the broader story of Knuble’s family ties to the Flyers. They describe his father, former NHL forward Mike Knuble, as a long-time player for Philadelphia and highlight that the younger Knuble’s goals come in front of his father. Other coverage shifts to Knuble’s NHL debut against Colorado, emphasizing the personal element of making his first NHL appearance with the team he grew up rooting for, with parents attending.
