Jeffrey, Cooke lead Penguins past Flyers 6-4

Dustin Jeffrey scored a go-ahead goal 37 seconds into the third period, Matt Cooke had two goals and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Philadelphia Flyers 6-4 on Saturday.

Jordan Staal, Pascal Dupuis and James Neal also scored goals for the Penguins, who moved into a tie with Philadelphia for fourth place in the Eastern Conference.

Jaromir Jagr scored two goals against his former team and Eric Wellwood notched his first NHL goal for the Flyers.

Philadelphia lost for the sixth time in eight games and got another poor performance from goalie Ilya Bryzgalov, who was benched after allowing three goals on 13 shots.

In a matchup of the league's two top scorers, Evgeni Malkin and Claude Giroux each had one assist. Malkin has a two-point lead over Giroux.

Jeffrey put the Penguins ahead 4-3 by scoring off a rebound after a turnover by Kimmo Timonen, the Flyers' top defenseman.

A few minutes later, Dupuis slid a shot from the left side of the net that went through the goal crease, hit Sergei Bobrovsky's skate and went in.

Neal scored his 30th goal on a breakaway midway through the third period to make it 6-3.

Wayne Simmonds scored for the Flyers in the final minute.

Playing his first game since turning 40, Jagr shook off the effects of a flu that forced him to miss Thursday night's 7-2 win against Buffalo and notched his first two-goal game since Dec. 2. His goals came 18 seconds apart in the first period to put Philadelphia up 2-1.
