RALEIGH, N.C. - Daniel Briere scored three goals in the third period to lead the Philadelphia Flyers past the Carolina Hurricanes 6-3 on Wednesday night.

Briere added an assist during his third career hat trick and first with the Flyers, who snapped a two-game losing streak.
Mike Knuble had a goal and two assists, Kimmo Timonen also scored, and Scott Hartnell added an empty-netter for Philadelphia, which snapped a two-game losing streak and won for just the second time this season when trailing after one period.
Martin Biron stopped 31 shots but allowed the NHL's second-best power-play unit to connect three times. The Flyers entered having allowed one power-play goal in six games.
Matt Cullen had a goal and two assists, Rod Brind'Amour and Eric Staal also scored and Cam Ward stopped 15 shots for the Southeast Division-leading Hurricanes, who have lost three of four.

Each of Briere's goals put Philadelphia up by two. His first came 21 seconds into the period when Knuble intercepted Ward's clearing attempt in the right circle and backhanded the puck to Briere, who scored on a forehand.
