Devils beat Flyers to reach final

THE New Jersey Devils are back in the NHL Eastern Conference finals for the first time in nine years after beating the Philadelphia Flyers 3-1 on Tuesday to clinch a 4-1 series victory.

Bryce Salvador, David Clarkson and Ilya Kovalchuk scored the goals and veteran goaltender Martin Brodeur was strong as the Devils continued their quest for their fourth Stanley Cup, a year after having missed the playoffs for the first time in 15 years.

The Devils await the winner of the New York Rangers-Washington Capitals series.

The sixth-seeded Devils became the first East team to win four straight games in these playoffs. Philadelphia was eliminated in the conference semifinals for the second straight season.
