John Madden's power-play goal with 9:26 to play gave New Jersey the lead and the Devils went on to a 5-3 exhibition victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Friday night.

Vladimir Malakhov, who played for the Devils in 2000 and was reacquired this offseason as a free agent, scored two power-play goals in the first period to give the Devils a 2-0 lead.

Philadelphia cut the lead to 2-1 in the second period on a power-play goal by Eric Desjardins. Brian Gionta's goal late in the second period extended the Devils' lead to 3-1, but the Flyers countered 28 seconds later on a goal by Michael Handzus.

The Flyers wasted little time tying the game as rookie Mike Richards scored his fourth goal of the preseason 53 seconds into the final period.

A high-sticking penalty against Flyers defenseman Joni Pitkanen set up Madden's game-winning goal from 15 feet.

Jamie Langenbrunner added an empty-net goal with 45 seconds left.

---------------------------------
I'm on the run all over the place tonight, and I missed the game, so I copied the brunt of the ESPN post-game report to here. Hope you guys don't mind.

I guess you can't win them all though, we'll get em' in the regular season.

It's safe to say they're going to save gas for the regular season now. 5-0 is very impressive though. Great start to the year.

LET'S GO FLYERS!
