Henrik Lundqvist made 17 saves for his fifth shutout of the season. The Rangers snapped a three-game losing streak and improved to 4-0 against the Devils this season.

Red Wings 5, Hurricanes 2: Andreas Lilja's second-period goal broke a tie, and NHL-leading Detroit won its sixth-straight game by beating visiting Carolina.

Valtteri Filppula, Johan Franzen, Pavel Datsyuk, and Tomas Holmstrom also scored for the Red Wings. Jiri Hudler had 3 assists and Dominik Hasek made 15 saves.
