The Flyers (44-26-11) came into Saturday tied with Carolina and Pittsburgh for fourth in the East, and coach John Stevens' team jumped ahead with a 3-2 victory that afternoon against the New York Islanders.

The Hurricanes lost to New Jersey in their finale, while the Penguins beat Montreal later Saturday night to ensure Pittsburgh and Philadelphia will meet in a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference final.

Simon Gagne had a goal and an assist to help Philadelphia to a 3-2 win over New York on Saturday afternoon.

The Flyers won as -230 favorites, while the final score played UNDER the day's posted total of 6.
