12/27/2008 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Travis Zajac had a goal and two assists, as the New Jersey Devils topped the New York Rangers, 4-2, at Madison Square Garden.
Zach Parise and Patrik Elias each finished with a goal and an assist, while Brian Rolston also scored for New Jersey, which had been shut out in each of its last two games.
Scott Clemmensen made 31 saves for the Devils, who beat the Rangers at MSG for the first time since a shootout win on February 22, 2007 -- and for the first time in regulation since December 17, 2006.
Nigel Dawes and Dmitri Kalinin each scored for New York, which has lost three in a row after winning three consecutive contests. Henrik Lundqvist stopped 31-of-35 shots in the loss.
The Devils entered Saturday's contest having not posted a goal since a December 21 shootout win over Philadelphia, but quickly snapped their scoring drought. Rolston's blast from the blueline on the power play, coming 2:54 into the game, gave New Jersey a 1-0 lead and ended its scoreless streak at 159:18.
Then, just over a minute later while the Rangers had a man advantage, Zajac harassed a pair of New York players by the blue line, intercepting a short pass. He fired the puck to Elias, who skated in on Lundqvist alone and buried the disc in the net for a 2-0 Devils lead, at 4:14.
But the Rangers managed to score on the same power play, exactly one minute after Elias' goal. Dawes grabbed the puck in the slot off a deflected shot, and sent a backhander between Clemmensen's pads to make it a 2-1 contest.
The score stayed that way headed into the second period, though Zajac tipped in Elias' shot with 8:48 left in the middle frame to give New Jersey a two- goal lead again.
Clemmensen was stellar in the second period, stopping all 17 shots he saw.
The Rangers got back within a goal at the 8:59 mark of the third period on Kalinin's first goal of the season, but Parise helped seal the game for the Devils.
Jamie Langenbrunner had the puck behind the net and peeked around the left side, shooting a short pass out front. Parise was there to put a shot by Lundqvist with 7:02 remaining for a 4-2 lead, and New Jersey held on from there.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
