THE New Jersey Devils hammered the Florida Panthers 4-0 to level their Stanley Cup playoff series on Thursday while in the Western Conference the Phoenix Coyotes earned a 3-2 overtime win over the Chicago Blackhawks to go 3-1 up in their best-of-seven series.
In Washington, the Capitals overcame the absence of Nicklas Backstrom to beat the Boston Bruins 2-1 and level their Eastern Conference first-round series at 2-2. The St Louis Blues beat the San Jose Sharks 2-1 to give them a strong 3-1 lead in their Western Conference series.
In Newark, New Jersey goaltender Martin Brodeur set an National Hockey League record 24th career playoff shutout to frustrate the Panthers and tie the series at 2-2.
Zach Parise scored 6:08 into the second period with a deflection off a long-range slap shot from defenseman Marek Zidlicky on the powerplay to give the Devils the advantage.
New Jersey opened up the game in the third period thanks to a thundering effort from Steve Bernier and goals from Travis Zajac and Ilya Kovalchuk.
All four games between Chicago and Phoenix have needed overtime and for the third time the Coyotes came out on top.
Mikkel Boedker again got the overtime winner, following his game-deciding goal on Tuesday.
