VOORHEES, N.J. (AP) -Kimmo Timonen's return from injury suddenly seems much closer than that of Philadelphia Flyers defense partner Braydon Coburn. The All-Star was all but ruled out for the season a week ago, on the eve of the Eastern Conference finals, when it was revealed he had a blood clot in his left ankle. But after a visit to his doctor Thursday, just hours before the Flyers extended their season with a 4-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins, the prognosis got a whole lot better. If Timonen gets t |

VOORHEES, N.J. (AP) -Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Braydon Coburn was ruled out Thursday for a second straight game after his swollen left eye didn't show enough improvement.
