NHL ROUNDUP

Flyers 3, Penguins 1

Wayne Simmonds scored two goals, Steve Mason stopped 18 shots and Philadelphia clinched a playoff berth with a win over playoff-bound Pittsburgh on Saturday. The Flyers' win eliminated Boston, which lost to Ottawa 6-1 earlier in the day. The Bruins lost a tiebreaker to Detroit. Philadelphia will meet top-seeded Washington in the first round. The Penguins, who are the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference, will play the Rangers or Islanders. Pittsburgh rested Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang and played without Evgeni Malkin for the 15th consecutive game because of an upper-body injury. Penguins goaltender Matt Murray was injured in a collision with Brayden Schenn and left the game in the first period. Murray has started five straight games because Marc-Andre Fleury is out with a concussion..

Sabres 4, Islanders 3 (OT)

Brian Gionta scored twice, including the deciding goal with 2:14 left in overtime, to lead Buffalo to a win over the New York. Matt Moulson and Evan Rodrigues also scored for the Sabres, who finished the season with a 35-36-11 record and will miss the playoffs. Linus Ullmark made 21 saves. Scott Mayfield, Alan Quine and John Tavares scored and Christopher Gibson made 22 saves for the Islanders, who are still waiting to learn their playoff opponent. Despite the loss, the Islanders can still clinch third place in the Metropolitan Division. They trail the New York Rangers by one point for third place. The Rangers finished their regular season by beating the Detroit Red Wings, 3-2 Saturday. The Islanders will end their season tonight at home against Philadelphia in a game rescheduled because of a snowstorm.

Ducks 5, Avalanche 3

Jakob Silfverberg scored twice, Corey Perry had three assists and playoff-bound Anaheim beat Colorado. Cam Fowler, Ryan Garbutt and Ryan Getzlaf also scored for Anaheim, which still has a chance at the Pacific Division title should Los Angeles lose Saturday night and the Ducks win Sunday in Washington. That game is a makeup from January when it was postponed because of a snowstorm. The Ducks scratched 11 players, but they still had enough punch to jump to a 3-0 lead.

Devils 5, Maple Leafs 1

Adam Henrique scored twice and Kyle Palmieri once to become the Devils' first 30-goal scorers in four years and New Jersey ended another disappointing season with a victory over Toronto. Devante Smith-Pelly also scored and Cory Schneider made 19 saves for the Devils, who have missed the Stanley Cup playoffs the last four seasons. Palmieri scored into an empty net. Patrik Elias scored with 16 seconds left in what might be his final NHL game. Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau scored and Garret Sparks made 31 saves for the Maple Leafs, who finish with the NHL's worst record and will be missing the postseason for the third straight season. The Devils finished 38-36-8 in their first season under John Hynes.

Panthers 5, Hurricanes 2

Florida finished off its record-setting regular season by scoring three times in the first eight minutes in a win over Carolina. Teddy Purcell, Jussi Jokinen and Aaron Ekblad beat goaltender Eddie Lack in the first 7:40 of the finale. Jonathan Huberdeau scored his 20th for Florida, marking the first 20-goal season for the former Calder Trophy winner. Reilly Smith scored his 25th goal into the empty net with 5.5 seconds left. Roberto Luongo made 24 saves. Elias Lindholm and Jordan Staal each had a goal and an assist for the Hurricanes.

Flames 2, Wild 1

Patrick Sieloff scored the go-ahead goal in his first NHL game and Niklas Backstrom made 35 saves against his former team, leading Calgary to a victory over Minnesota. Sieloff, summoned from the AHL by the Flames for their meaningless season finale, scored with 5:54 remaining. That was just 31 seconds after Brandon Bollig's goal tied the game against backup Wild goalie Darcy Kuemper. Zac Dalpe scored in the second period for the Wild (38-33-11), who stumbled into the postseason with their fifth consecutive loss. They have the fewest standings points (87) by a playoff qualifier since the shootout was added in 2005. Backstrom was named the first star of the game. He skated back out to acknowledge the applauding crowd, waving and patting his heart.

Canadiens 5, Lightning 1

Alex Galchenyuk and Max Pacioretty each scored twice to reach the 30-goal mark and Montreal ended the regular season with a victory over Tampa Bay. Tomas Plekanec also scored for Montreal, which missed the playoffs for the second time in nine years. Jonathan Drouin scored his second in as many games since returning from a hiatus and Ondrej Palat scored for the Lightning, who had already clinched a postseason spot. They open the playoffs Wednesday at home against Detroit. The Lightning are already missing Steven Stamkos and Anton Stralman to injuries and may have lost another in the first period when center Tyler Johnson was helped off the ice after crashing headfirst into the boards.

Blue Jackets 5, Blackhawks 4 (OT)

Scott Hartnell scored a power-play goal at 2:28 of overtime, and Columbus rallied for a victory over depleted Chicago. Hartnell finished with two goals and two assists as Columbus (34-40-8) closed its season with four wins in five games. Alexander Wennberg had a goal and two assists for the Blue Jackets, and Brandon Saad added a goal and an assist against his former team.
