DEVILS 4, FLYERS 2: John Madden scored two goals and Martin Brodeur made 29 saves, including a game-turning penalty-shot stop, to lead New Jersey over Philadelphia. Arron Asham and Jamie Langenbrunner also scored for the Devils, who have won 10 straight from the Flyers in New Jersey. Philadelphia last won in New Jersey on March 9, 2004. Mike Richards and Daniel Briere scored for the Flyers, who have lost three straight for the first time this season. COYOTES 5, RANGERS 1: Back in the building where he played the final game of his Hall of Fame career eight years earlier, Wayne Gretzky stood behind the Phoenix bench for the first time in New York and coached his club to a rout of New York.

FLAMES 5, BLUES 3: Calgary's top line of Jarome Iginla, Kristian Huselius and Daymond Langkow combined for 12 points, and Calgary won its fifth in a row on the road with a victory over St. Louis. Iginla had two goals and two assists, Huselius scored a goal and added four assists and Langkow added two goals and an assist for the Flames, who end a season-long six-game road trip Tuesday night in Columbus. PANTHERS 3, BLACKHAWKS 1: Defenseman Jay Bouwmeester recorded a goal and an assist to end an eight-game stretch without a point, and Tomas Vokoun made 43 saves in Florida's victory over Chicago. Rostislav Olesz and Richard Zednik also scored for the Panthers, who are 3-1-1 in their past five games and handed slumping Chicago its second straight loss and sixth in its past seven. SHARKS 2, DUCKS 1: Joe Thornton beat Jean-Sebastien Giguere with a shot high to the stick side to lift San Jose to a shootout victory over Anaheim and spoil Scott Niedermayer's return to the Ducks. Thornton was the 12th shooter and just the fifth to score in the shootout. His goal gave the Sharks their first victory over Anaheim this season after the Ducks had won the opening two meetings.
