They didn't lose - they never do these days - but they did not play a classic Devils' game in Anaheim last night. The teams combined for 72 shots on goal, and New Jersey let a lead slip away in the dying seconds.
The Devils were up 3-2 when they were caught with too many men on the ice at the 58 minute mark. Sergei Fedorov scores the power play goal, and Anaheim and Jersey finish in a 3-3 draw.
Fedorov had two goals and an assist on the night. Scott Stevens played his 1,616 career game, setting a new record for NHL defensemen. New Jersey is unbeaten in 13 games, while the Ducks have picked up at least a point in their last nine. Other results from Wednesday:
Dallas and Minnesota manage just 38 shots between them. So it's a dull night for the fans, but a good night for the Stars. They get decent goaltending from Marty Turco, two points from Mike Modano, a pair of goals from Bill Guerin and a 3-1 win on the road. Suddenly, the underachievers from Dallas are on top of the Pacific Division. It's a lousy division, but still...
Miroslav Satan cracks his scoring slump with a couple of goals in Buffalo's 5-2 victory against the Capitals. Washington's Robert Lang has a goal, so he remains the hottest scorer in the league. Jaromir Jagr leaves the game with a groin injury.
