NHL ROUNDUP : Lindros Gets a Hat Trick for Flyers

Eric Lindros collected his first hat trick as the Philadelphia Flyers extended the Ottawa Senators’ losing streak to seven games with a 7-2 victory Sunday night at Philadelphia.

The victory was the Flyers’ fourth in a row, a stretch during which they have scored 24 goals.

Lindros scored a goal 41 seconds into the game and also had goals in the second and third periods.

Philadelphia’s “Crazy Eights” line of Lindros, Mark Recchi and Brent Fedyk has 29 points in the last three games.

Chicago 2, Minnesota 1--Chris Chelios’ 40-foot slap shot with 6:02 to play gave the Blackhawks the victory at Chicago and moved them into first place in the Norris Division.

Chelios’ goal came after Jeremy Roenick had scored to pull the Blackhawks into a 1-1 tie. Ed Belfour, beaten, 3-0, by Minnesota Saturday night, stopped 15 of 16 shots Sunday.

Chelios, skating up the middle, took a pass from Christian Ruuttu and shot without losing stride. The puck skimmed under goaltender Jon Casey’s pads for Chelios’ fifth goal of the season.
