PHILADELPHIA — Mike Knuble and the Philadelphia Flyers are enjoying playing hockey again.

Knuble scored twice and the Flyers won their fourth straight game with a 6-3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday.

Philadelphia is 12-1-3 in its last 16 games and has secured 27 of a possible 32 points to move into second place in the Atlantic Division behind the New York Rangers.

"It's fun to come in and pick up the paper and see us climbing in the standings," Knuble said. "It's two points that they can't have and two more that we were able to get."

Joffrey Lupul, Mike Richards, Scott Hartnell and Jeff Carter also scored, and Kimmo Timonen added a career-high four assists, as the Flyers extended their unbeaten streak at home in regulation to nine games (7-0-2).

"It was a chance to make a statement game at home and keep the momentum going," Knuble said.

Jordan Staal, Eric Godard and Ruslan Fedotenko scored for the Penguins, who have lost four of their last five and fallen to third in the Atlantic standings.
