• Devils 1, Rangers 0 (shootout): For 65 minutes both goaltenders put on clinics. Martin Brodeur stopped an amazing 51 shots while Henrik Lundqvist stopped an impressive 45. Both goaltenders dominance led to a shootout and through three rounds, neither goaltender cracked. That brought on sudden-death and Patrik Elias beat Lundqvist for the only goal of the night and a Devils’ victory.
  • Islanders 6, Detroit 0: That’s not a misprint, the Islanders whipped the team that has represented the Western Conference in the Stanley Cup the last two years. Rob Schremp had two goals, Mark Streit had two points and Dwayne Roloson made it all stand up with 16 saves.
