Cole Knuble needed only two games to prove he belongs on the Flyers

Philadelphia Flyers rookie Cole Knuble scored the first two goals of his NHL career to secure a 3-1 victory against the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night. Playing in just his second NHL game, Knuble opened the scoring late in the first period and added his second early in the third period. His father, former Flyers forward Mike Knuble, attended the game to watch the performance.

Jason MacNeil argues that Knuble's standout display proves he deserves to remain on Philadelphia's roster even after injured forwards return. Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet praised the rookie's camp performance and resilient attitude. Knuble became just the seventh player in Flyers history to record a multi-goal performance within his first two NHL appearances.
