Tuesday's win gave the Devils (45-21-11) 101 points for the season and extended New Jersey's unbeaten streak to seven games (6-0-1). The Devils remained tied for first in the Atlantic division and the Eastern Conference with the New York Rangers, who were 4-3 winners over the Philadelphia Flyers.
In Detroit, Sergei Fedorov scored twice and Ray Sheppard scored his 50th goal to help Detroit move two points ahead of idle Toronto and into sole possession of first place in the Central Division and Western Conference with a 6-2 defeat of the Hartford Whalers.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
