Leighton steps in Game 5 and Flyers stay alive

Leighton steps in Game 5 and Flyers stay alive The Boston crowd booed the Bruins off the ice.

And in the third period, it wasn't much better.

Gagne, who missed the first three games of the series with a broken toe, broke free when Dennis Wideman's stick broke at the point and the puck trickled into the neutral zone. Wideman could do little but try to get in Gagne's way, but the Flyers forward easily went around him and in on Rask to make it 4-0 with 13:12 to play.

Boucher wound up beneath teammate Ryan Parent and Bruins forward Miroslav Satan after a scramble for a loose puck. The puck was cleared away, but Boucher remained on the ice; a referee whistled the play dead and quickly waved to the Flyers bench.

After the team's medical staff came out, Leighton immediately stepped onto the ice in a ballcap and began stretching. A few minutes later, Boucher skated off with assistance, favoring his left knee as the Boston crowd gave him polite applause.

Flyers spokesman Zack Hill said that Boucher wouldn't return. The team didn't identify the injury.
