Healthy again, Sean Burke showed his ability to help the Phoenix
Coyotes put together a charge for a playoff berth, or the highest
bidder make a run at the Stanley Cup.

Burke made 34 saves and Tony Amonte and Shane Doan had two assists
apiece as the Coyotes recorded their fifth victory in seven games
with a 4-2 triumph over the struggling Carolina Hurricanes.

The subject of trade rumors, Burke returned on Sunday after missing
19 games with a knee injury, but allowed four goals to Jarome Iginla
in a home loss to Calgary.

However on Wednesday, the 36-year-old Burke stopped 15 shots in the
third period and looked more like the 2001-02 Vezina Trophy finalist
as the league's top netminder.

THIRD PERIOD -- Scoring: 2, Phoenix, Paul Mara 7 (Brad May, Kelly
Buchberger), 4:14.
4, Phoenix, Brad May 2 (Paul Ranheim, Danny Markov), 15:22.

Penalties: Bench, Pho (too many men served by B May), 13:12;

B May G: 1 A: 1 +/-: +2 SOG: 1

(Too bad he didn't add to fight to that and make it a Gordie Howe hat
trick!)
