Flyers Win Again but Lose Coffey

The Philadelphia Flyers extended their undefeated streak to 14 games with a 5-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night at Vancouver, but it was not a happy New Year’s Eve for the Flyers.

The Flyers lost defenseman Paul Coffey, who suffered a concussion in a collision with teammate Eric Lindros. Coffey lay motionless for five minutes before being carted off on a stretcher. He was alert after the game.

Mikael Renberg scored the game-winner at 9:49 of the third period.

San Jose 5, Calgary 1--Ulf Dahlen scored two third-period goals as the Sharks won at Calgary.

Colorado 4, Chicago 1--Sandis Ozolinsh and Keith Jones scored power-play goals 16 seconds apart midway through the second period for the Avalanche at Chicago.

Buffalo 6, New Jersey 5--The Sabres scored three goals in the first period to chase Devil goaltender Martin Brodeur, one of the NHL’s best, and went on to a victory at Buffalo.

Tampa Bay 4, N.Y. Rangers 2--Chris Gratton, Alex Selivanov and John Cullen had first-period goals for the Lightning at Tampa, Fla.
