Daniel and Henrik Sedin delivered their usual response to petty taunts by helping the Vancouver Canucks to a 5-3 win over the slumping Toronto Maple Leafs Saturday. Earlier in the week, Chicago Blackhawks agitator Dave Bolland in a radio interview referred to the Swedish twins as the Sedin “sisters”, prompting an angry retort from Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault. The Sedins had little to say. The barbs are nothing new for the identical twins and they responded the way they always have — Daniel scoring late in the second period to give the Canucks a lead they would not surrender and Henrik setting up Alex Burrows third period game winner. Both have won Art Ross trophies as the NHL's leading scorer, Henrik in 2010 and Daniel in 2011. Bruins 6, Flyers 0: The Bruins got started right away with a goal in the first minute and cruised to an easy win after burying the Flyers with a flurry of early goals. Benoit Pouliot, Daniel Paille, Zdeno Chara and Milan Lucic scored in the first period to help Boston beat Philadelphia 6-0 Saturday, snapping the Flyers' seven-game winning streak. Jets 5, Ducks 3: Defenseman Zach Bogosian had a goal and two assists, and the Jets were victorious in Teemu Selanne's anticipated return to Winnipeg with a 5-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks Saturday night. Kyle Wellwood had a goal and an assist, and Blake Wheeler, Alex Burmistrov and Andrew Ladd also scored for the Jets (15-13-4). Dustin Byfuglien added two assists. New York 3, Phoenix 2: Brad Richards scored the winning goal with a tenth of a second left Saturday night as the Rangers pulled out a 3-2 victory over the host Phoenix Coyotes. Richards's backhanded shot from the left circle eluded goalie Mike Smith as time ran out. The game appeared to be headed to overtime, but a video replay showed that the puck crossed the goal line in just enough time. Devils 5, Canadiens 3: Patrik Elias scored twice, including his team-record 348th goal, and the Devils spoiled Randy Cunneyworth's NHL coaching debut by beating host Montreal. A former assistant, Cunneyworth took over as the Canadiens' coach earlier in the day after the team fired Jacques Martin. Islanders 2, Wild 1: Frans Nielsen scored the only goal in the shootout, leading the Islanders past host Minnesota for their first extra-time victory of the season. Andy McDonald scored in the second period for the Islanders. Elsewhere it was: Penguins 8, Sabres 3; Avalanche 2, Capitals 1; Red Wings 8, Kings 2; Lightning 3, Blue Jackets 2; Predators 2, Blues 1.
