Flyers Bury Penguins

If the Philadelphia Flyers can dominate the Pittsburgh Penguins like this without Eric Lindros, they must wonder what it would be like in the playoffs with him.

The Flyers beat the Penguins without the injured Lindros for the second day in a row, rallying with six straight goals to win 6-2 Sunday night as Trent Klatt scored twice, including a go-ahead shorthanded goal.

The Flyers had been 0-10-4 in Pittsburgh since last winning on Jan. 21, 1990.

“It started out the same old way, the same as always in Pittsburgh … but we play different when Eric is out of there,” said Rod Brind’Amour, who scored once. “He’s such a great player, we tend to rely on him, but when he’s out, we have to rely on everyone.”

Lindros tried to skate before Saturday’s game, but left the ice with back pain and did not play in either game of the home-and-home series. He is expected to return Wednesday against Hartford.

Jason Dawe and Donald Audette each scored twice, and the Buffalo Sabres had five straight goals in the first 23 minutes to beat the San Jose Sharks 6-2.

The Sabres extended their unbeaten streak to nine games - their longest in seven years - and remained in first place in the Northeast Division.
