NHL Roundup
If the Devils don't get Scott Stevens back in time for the playoffs, it looks to be an awfully short trip -- at least that's the impression I'm getting after seeing the Devs drop a 3-1 decision at home to Philly.
On Long Island, management and ownership decided not to break up the roster, or trade away any prospects to bolster the Islanders for their playoff run. And after the deadline, the team promptly lost, 3-2 in OT to St. Louis. But hey, Alexi Yashin's back, that should help? Maybe not.
Gary Roberts scored twice and Ed Belfour had 15 saves in Toronto's 5-0 shutout of Florida. 18 new players made their season debut with the Leafs -- or at least it felt that way after the deadline. The Bruins kept pace with their Northeast Division rival with a 3-2 win over Nashville. Joe Thornton scored twice.
Luc Robataille scored goal number 650 of his career in the Kings' 3-2 win over Phoenix.
From the points you can't afford to lose department -- Minnesota beats San Jose, 4-3 and Pittsburgh downs Dallas 4-0.
In Atlanta, the Rangers beat the Thrashers 2-0, their first victory over them in seven games (0-6-1).
Up in Calgary, the latest version of the "Battle of Alberta," ended in a 1-1 tie for the Flames and Oilers.
