Lindros Keeps Scoring, Flyers Keep Soaring

Dale Hawerchuk scored twice and Eric Lindros had a goal and two assists for the Philadelphia Flyers, who extended their undefeated streak to 17 games with a 7-3 victory over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia is 14-0-3 in its last 17 games, the longest undefeated streak in the NHL since Pittsburgh’s 18-game streak in 1993.

Lindros has at least one point in 17 consecutive games, one shy of the team record set in 1975 by Bob Clarke, now the team’s general manager.

“I think it’s our skating,” Lindros said of the secret to the Flyer streak. “We’re on the puck quicker and we’ve really got some jump out there.”

Edmonton 5, St. Louis 2--Doug Weight had two goals and an assist for the Oilers, who spoiled the coaching debut of Joel Quenneville at St. Louis.

Edmonton’s Andrei Kovalenko added a goal and an assist to run his scoring streak to 11 games, second-longest ongoing streak in the NHL.

Kelly Buchberger and Louie DeBrusk also scored for Edmonton.

Pittsburgh 5, N.Y. Islanders 3--Jaromir Jagr triggered a four-goal second period for the Penguins, who rallied from a 2-0 deficit to beat the Islanders at Uniondale, N.Y.

Rookie goalie Patrick Lalime, 10-0-1 for the Penguins, stopped 48 shots, including 19 in the first period.

Ron Francis, Kevin Hatcher, Joe Dziezic and Stu Barnes also had goals for the Penguins, who are 8-0-1 in their last nine games.

Calgary 4, Toronto 3--Dave Gagner scored with 59 seconds left in overtime for the Flames, who rallied for a victory at Calgary.

Steve Chiasson set up the winning goal after assisting on Theo Fleury’s game-tying goal late in the third period.

Buffalo 1, San Jose 1--Jeff Friesen took a pass off the backboard and sent it past Steve Shielfs at 6:39 of the final period to earn the Sharks a tie at home in a game in which they outshot the Sabres, 43-23.
