OTTAWA -- Roman Cechmanek stopped 33 shots for his second career playoff shutout and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Ottawa Senators 2-0 Sunday night to even their second-round series.
Cechmanek made up for his dismal performance in Friday's series opener by posting his first shutout in these playoffs.
Simon Gagne and Mark Recchi scored for the Flyers, who tied the second-round series 1-1.
Game 3 of the series is Tuesday in Philadelphia.
Gagne scored early in the first period and Recchi added another late in the game against Patrick Lalime, who made with 21 saves.
Ottawa fell to 0-3 in second-round Game 2s.
The Senators, who had an NHL-best 113 points this season, have never won the second game after opening a series with a victory.
Wild 3, Canucks 2
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Sergei Zholtok and Wes Walz scored just more than a minute apart early in the third period as Minnesota evened its series with Vancouver.
Marian Gaborik added a goal and an assist, and Pascal Dupuis had two assists for the Wild, who return home for Game 3 Tuesday.
Several fights broke out after the final buzzer and five players were given misconducts.
Wild defenseman Willie Mitchell, who was sent off for roughing seven seconds earlier, came back out onto the ice and was given a game misconduct.
The Canucks, who rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the third period in Game 1, pulled goalie Dan Cloutier with two minutes remaining. They got within a goal when Mattias Ohlund scored at 18:28.
Ed Jovanovski also scored for the Canucks, who lost for the first time in five games.
Dwayne Roloson, out since Game 4 of the first round because of a groin injury, replaced Manny Fernandez in the Wild net and made 29 saves.
