Evgeni Malkin's first goal in his much-anticipated NHL debut didn't prevent Martin Brodeur from achieving a milestone of his own: his 450th career victory. Brodeur withstood Malkin's first career goal to become only the third goaltender in league history to reach the 450-win mark, with Jamie Langenbrunner's goal in the third period making the difference in the New Jersey Devils' 2-1 victory over the Penguins on Wednesday. Malkin, one of the most awaited young players in recent seasons, was ...

Brendan Shanahan came to New York to take some of the Rangers' scoring load off Jaromir Jagr's shoulders. He is doing that along with taking faceoffs, killing penalties and playing tough defence. Shanahan scored his NHL-leading seventh goal of the young season, and the Rangers outlasted the New Jersey Devils 4-2 Monday night. New York coach Tom Renney is maximizing what he has in the seven-time all-star, who despite 605 NHL goals is way more than just a ...

Brian Gionta again came up big late in the game for the New Jersey Devils. Gionta broke a tie early in the third period and Martin Brodeur made 25 saves to lead the Devils to a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday night.

He scored all the goals as the Devils overcame a three-goal, third-period deficit Thursday night in a 7-6 shootout victory over Toronto. ``It's just ...

Morrow, who signed a six-year, US$24-million contract extension last month, was selected the team's fifth captain since it moved to Texas in 1993.

Zach Parise scored twice and Brian Gionta had three assists to lead the New Jersey Devils past the Carolina Hurricanes 4-0 on Friday night, sending the Stanley Cup champions to a second straight home loss to open the season.

Patrik Elias became the seventh captain in the history of the New Jersey Devils on Thursday. Scott Niedermayer last wore the `C' in New Jersey in 2003-04, taking over temporarily from Scott Stevens after the former star defenceman missed the rest of that season with a concussion. Stevens, who was captain for 13 years, never returned and instead retired last September. The Devils went without a captain last season. Elias, ...

The NHL has informed the New Jersey Devils general manager that veteran winger Alexander Mogilny can be placed on the long-term injury exception list. The move will free up US$3.5-million in salary cap space. That comes two days after Lamoriello got rid of Vladimir Malakhov's $3.6-million salary in a trade with San Jose which cost him a first-round draft pick. The ...

Alexei Yashin had a goal and assist for the second straight night, and Rick DiPietro was perfect in a cameo appearance in his old stomping grounds as the New York Islanders finished the exhibition schedule with a 3-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Saturday. Yashin, who contributed on both goals Friday in a 2-1 home win against the New York Rangers, did the trick again. He needed only ...
