Sens End Flyers Season

2002 Playoffs

Ottawa won the best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarterfinal series 4-1 and advances only for the second time in the franchise's modern history.

The Flyers, despite of several All-Star players and a $58 million payroll, earned the dubious record of having scored the fewest goals in a five-game series in the NHL history with just two goals.

Leafs Take The Edge In Series
Bryan McCabe scored twice as the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the New York Islanders 6-3 on Friday night to take a 3-2 lead in their best-of-seven series.

Toronto was missing captain Mats Sundin, who is out indefinitely with a broken bone in his left wrist.

"I think we kind of said to ourselves 'Make sure we buckle down here, we've lost one of our key guys,'" Darcy Tucker said. "It was a rallying point for us."

The Islanders lost captain Michael Peca and defenseman Kenny Jonsson to injuries.

"The hit on Kenny Jonsson should be looked on the same way as the Kyle McLaren hit last night," New York coach Peter Laviolette said. "To watch those referees bounce around out there and not make a call was an embarrassment."

Sharks Oust Coyotes
Evgeny Nabokov made 22 saves, and Patrick Marleau had a goal and an assist as the San Jose Sharks advanced into the Western Conference semifinals with a 4-1 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes.

"Everyone's still hungry in here. That's why there's no partying," captain Owen Nolan said. "We're going to be able to rest up for at least another day while the other teams are playing. That's why you strive so hard to finish quickly."

Adam Graves, Vincent Damphousse and Marco Sturm also scored for the Sharks, who won the best-of-seven series 4-1.
