Bruins complete sweep of Flyers

Milan Lucic scored twice, Johnny Boychuk got the go-ahead goal, and the host Boston Bruins stopped any chance of another historic comeback by the Philadelphia Flyers with a 5-1 win Friday night that completed a sweep of the Eastern Conference semifinal series.

In this round last year against Philadelphia, the Bruins became just the third NHL team to lose a series after winning the first three games. Boston even held a 3-0 lead at home in Game 7 before the Flyers rallied again for a 4-3 victory.

The Bruins are in the conference finals for the first time since 1992 and will have home-ice advantage against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Red Wings 4, Sharks 3: Darren Helm scored with 1:27 left in the third period, lifting host Detroit to an elimination-avoiding win over San Jose in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinal series.

The Sharks will take their 3-1 series lead back home with a chance to advance on Sunday night.
