VOORHEES, N.J. (AP) -Kimmo Timonen's return from injury suddenly seems much closer than that of Philadelphia Flyers defense partner Braydon Coburn. The All-Star was all but ruled out for the season a week ago, on the eve of the Eastern Conference finals, when it was revealed he had a blood clot in his left ankle. But after a visit to his doctor Thursday, just hours before the Flyers extended their season with a 4-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins, the prognosis got a whole lot better. If Timonen gets t |

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Not only did the Philadelphia Flyers stay alive Thursday night, they got good news on the status of injured defensemen Kimmo Timonen and Braydon Coburn. Philadelphia's top defense pair could be reunited as early as Sunday for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals in Pittsburgh. Coburn seemed close to returning Thursday night for the Flyers' 4-2 home win, but needed more time to heal from facial injuries that caused his left eye to swell shut.

VOORHEES, N.J. (AP) -Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Braydon Coburn was ruled out Thursday for a second straight game after his swollen left eye didn't show enough improvement. Coburn was struck in the face by a puck in the opening minutes of Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals last Sunday and sat out Tuesday when the Flyers lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins to fall into an 0-3 hole. Coburn didn't break any bones, but severe swelling forced his left eye to close. He was able to practice Wednesday and hoped |

Could it possibly happen again? Unfortunately for fans of the Philadelphia Flyers and Dallas Stars, the answer is "not likely". The Red Wings opened their three-game edge over the Stars with a 5-2 win on Monday, and Pittsburgh gained the same lead over Philadelphia with a 4-1 decision on Tuesday night.

VOORHEES, N.J. (AP) -Braydon Coburn's swollen and battered face looked much worse than the young Philadelphia Flyers defenseman said it felt.

The eye was still swollen shut, forcing him to the sideline at least for Tuesday night's home game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. ``I feel fine |
