Icehockey: New Jersey 4 Philadelphia 2

New Jersey's Dainius Zubrus scored twice Sunday, lifting the Devils to a 4-2 win over Philadelphia and 3-1 lead in their Eastern Conference playoff series. Zubrus notched the go-ahead goal late in the second period when he one-timed a pass from Adam Henrique past Ilya Bryzgalov from in close, and later made it 4-2 with an empty-netter. Petr Sykora and Marek Zidlicky each added a goal and an assist as the Devils charged back from an early 2-0 deficit to log the victory and put the Flyers on the brink of elimination in their conference semifinal series. Veteran New Jersey goalie Martin Brodeur celebrated his 40th birthday with a win, stopping 20-of-22 shots for the Devils. Scott Hartnell and Claude Giroux scored for the Flyers, who will attempt to stay alive in Thursday's Game 5 in Philadelphia. Bryzgalov finished with 39 saves.
