NHL ROUNDUP \ Saturday's games

Sabres 6, Flyers 5
PHILADELPHIA -- Mike Grier's goal with 4.6 seconds remaining lifted Buffalo over Philadelphia. Chris Drury, Teppo Numminen, Jochen Hecht, Jean-Pierre Dumont and Daniel Briere also scored for Buffalo, which has won five straight games to get within two points of Northeast Division-leading Ottawa. Mike Richards, Simon Gagne, Mike Knuble, Sami Kapanen and Brian Savage scored for struggling Philadelphia, which came in one point behind the first-place New York Rangers in the Atlantic Division. Martin Biron replaced Ryan Miller after two periods and stopped Philadelphia's only shot in the third. Miller gave up five goals on 20 shots. Drury's power-play goal tied it at 5 in the third period.
Sharks 3, Predators 2, OT
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Christian Ehrhoff scored a power-play goal 2:56 into overtime, and San Jose overcame Tomas Vokoun's 39-save performance for a fight-filled victory over Nashville. Paul Kariya forced overtime by scoring his second goal of the game on a crafty backhand with 10.9 seconds left in regulation. Mark Smith scored a power-play goal with 7:47 left in the third period, and Jonathan Cheechoo also scored for the Sharks, who have won five straight home games. Nashville's Scott Nichol and Brendan Witt and San Jose's Milan Michalek and Scott Parker got game misconducts after a series of fights -- and midway through the second period, Parker attempted to climb over the barrier separating the benches to fight Witt, who pounded rookie Michalek in a first-period fight. Vesa Toskala made 17 saves for the Sharks, who were without injured starter Evgeni Nabokov.
