Devils blank Hurricanes, tie Stupples tops Penguins atop Atlantic Division star-studded leaderboard
RALEIGH (AP)– Dainius Zubrus and Patrik Elias scored first-period goals for the New Jersey Devils, who beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-0 and moved into a flat-footed tie with Pittsburgh atop the Atlantic Division on Saturday night. Martin Brodeur made 26 saves to record his NHL-record 109th shutout and 599th victory. The Devils (45-26-7) kept pace with Pittsburgh, which won earlier Saturday. New Jersey, which also got third-period goals from Zach Parise and David Clarkson, improved to 31-1-1 when leading after two periods. Zubrus took a pass from Parise
late in a power play and scored between goalie Cam Ward’s legs with 6:47 left in the first. Elias netted his 16th goal when he took a pass from Ilya Kovalchuk and fired a shot over Ward’s left shoulder of Ward with 1:42 remaining in the opening period. In the third, Parise gathered a loose puck at the side of the net and put a shot in off Ward’s skate with 12:26 remaining. Clarkson sealed the win with an empty-net goal. The Devils, who outshot the Hurricanes 29-26, won the season series 3-1. Carolina was shut out at home for the second time in eight days.
Atlanta beat the Hurricanes 4-0 at the RBC Center on March 27. The Hurricanes have lost five of the last seven at home. NOTES: Devils captain Jamie Langenbrunner was a healthy scratch. He had played in each of New Jersey’s first 78 games this season. Travis Zajac played in his 315th consecutive game for New Jersey, and Zubrus played his 900th NHL game. New Jersey improved to 11-5-2 in the second of back-toback games. The Devils lost 2-1 in a shootout on Friday at home against Chicago. Ward, who had been 2-0 after returning to the lineup after a back injury, made 25 saves.
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) – Karen Stupples shot a 4-under 68 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead into the final round of the Kraft Nabisco Championship, with six other majors winners within seven shots. Stupples, the 2004 Women’s British Open winner, had a 10-under 206 total at Mission Hills in the season’s first major.
Harvick prevails at Nashville GLADEVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Kevin Harvick took advantage of a late caution to win the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Nashville Superspeedway on Saturday, the Sprint Cup driver’s second victory in four series starts this season. Harvick and crew chief Ernie Cope gambled by taking two tires under caution and seized the lead from Kyle Busch with 34 laps to go. Brian Keselowski touched off the race-changing caution
by spinning at the entrance to pit road. Harvick’s Chevrolet was strong on long runs all afternoon and was not seriously threatened as the race was contested under green the rest of the way. Harvick beat Reed Sorenson by 0.2 seconds at the finish. Busch, who beat Harvick in the Trucks race Friday night, was third. Justin Allgaier, coming off a victory May 20 at Bristol Motor Speedway, was fourth, and Brad Keselowski finished fifth.
SOUTH BOSTON, Va. – After starting the season winning the pole in Atlanta and finishing third in his most recent NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour race, James Civali felt his first win of the season was just around the corner. Civali survived a laterace charge by L.W. Miller to win the South Boston 150 Saturday at South Boston Speedway. Civali and Miller were out front for most of the race as the pair swapped the lead eight times with Miller getting past Civali for the final time on Lap
144. Civali was able to get back by on Lap 147 and hold on for the win. Miller finished second, while Andy Seuss recovering from an early-race accident that took him out of the lead to finish third. Thomas Stinson was fourth. Zach Brewer, who won his first Coors Light Pole Award with a track record of 14.765 seconds (97.528 mph), finished fifth. Civali has four wins on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, where he was the 2006 Sunoco Rookie of the Year. He was making his fifth start on the southern tour and plans to run both full time this season.
He took over the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour lead by 18 points over Seuss (505-487). The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour kicks off next weekend. Tim Brown finished sixth. He started on the point after drawing the pole in the post-qualifying redraw of the top eight spots, but was involved in the early accident with Seuss. John Smith, Burt Myers, Brian King and Brian Loftin completed the top 10. The NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour is off until Friday, July 2 when it races at Caraway Speedway.
