VOORHEES, N.J. (AP) -Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Braydon Coburn is doubtful for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals after taking a puck in the face on Sunday night.

There was no structural damage to his face, but the blow opened a cut that required over 50 stitches to close. The Flyers sent Coburn to an ophthalmologist on Monday for tests. ``Everything checked out OK,'' Flyers ge |

PITTSBURGH (AP) -Kimmo Timonen wasn't in the Philadelphia Flyers' lineup Friday night, sidelined by a blood clot on his left ankle that is all but certain to keep him out the rest of the playoffs.

Timonen, ruled out of the Flyers' Eastern Conference final series against the Penguins the day before, unexpectedly traveled to Pittsburgh for Game 1 by catching a ride on team chairman Ed Snider's plane. Doctors cleared him to make the trip. ``I talked to (coach) Joh |
