Burke gets 300th win in Flyers' victory

Sean Burke stopped 25 shots to win his 300th career game as the Philadelphia Flyers beat the New York Rangers 6-2 Saturday in Philadelphia for their fifth straight win.

Burke, the 20th goalie to reach that milestone, won his second straight — both against the Rangers — since being acquired from Phoenix on Monday. He got the victory in Philadelphia's 2-1 win at New York on Thursday.

Burke has stopped 51 of 54 shots in the two wins.

Patrick Sharp scored two goals for the Flyers, who maintained their nine-point lead over New Jersey in the Atlantic Division. The Devils beat Carolina 4-1 on Saturday.

Radovan Somik, John LeClair, Michal Handzus, and Tony Amonte also scored, and Kim Johnsson had three assists for the Flyers, who have just one loss in their last 10 games (8-1-1).

Chris Simon and Alex Kovalev scored power-play goals for the Rangers.

Somik and LeClair scored within a span of 1:12 late in the first period to put the Flyers ahead 2-0.

Somik, left alone in front of the net, took a pass from Kim Johnsson and slid the puck low past the glove side of Rangers goalie Mike Dunham at 16:08. LeClair flipped in a shot from the right of the net at 17:20.

The Flyers broke it open with four goals on seven shots in the second period.

Handzus knocked in a rebound of a shot by LeClair on a power play at 3:32, and Amonte beat Dunham with a forehand shot to make it 4-0 five minutes later.

Simon got the Rangers on the scoreboard with just under eight minutes remaining in the period, redirecting a shot from the point by Brian Leetch.

Sharp's two goals came when he scored unassisted at 14:39, and on a rebound with 32 seconds left in the period.

Dunham gave up all six goals on just 18 shots, and was replaced by Jussi Markkanen to start the third period.

SABRES 6, MAPLE LEAFS 4: At Toronto, Buffalo goalie Mika Noronen was credited with a goal when Toronto's Robert Reichel accidentally put the puck into an empty net. With Toronto down 5-4, Reichel tried to pass the puck from behind Buffalo's net, but the puck went all the way down the ice and into the empty net. Noronen, the last Buffalo player, to touch the puck was credited with the goal.
