• Hawks 105, Nets 88: At one point this game was tied at 61. Then the Hawks backcourt took off. Devin Harris (20 points) and Vince Carter (18 points) combined to make only 11 of 31 shots. Joe Johnson (an All-Star) and Mike Bibby did their work well. Even Atlanta's Flip Murry had 23 points. Just as the Nets seemed as if they were making progress, they have stumbled again. This was their eighth loss in nine games and third straight.
• Devils 4, Penguins 3 (OT): Break up the Devils! Or at least take away Jamie Langenbrunner. He has scored overtime winners in two straight games.

Things got testy at the end of the game as Shane Doan took a swipe at the puck after Rick DiPietro had saved it and a scrum erupted behind the net. Doan took the worst of it penalty wise as he received a game misconduct.

Devils 3, Thrashers 0: Martin Brodeur earned his first shutout of the season -- and the 93rd of his career -- and the Devils are at .500 again. Rod Pelley and Paul Martin had the two non-empty-net goals for the Devils. Jamie Langenbrunner tied an NHL record by assisting on all of his team's goals. After that early-season road trip, the Devils appear to have their skates back under them. Panthers 3, Rangers 2 (SO):...

Rangers 4, Devils 2: Given New Jersey's recent dominance over its cross-river rivals, Martin Brodeur's picking up his 500th win against Rangers would have seemed appropriate. Jaromir Jagr and Henrik Lunqvist had other ideas. Lundqvist stopped 22 shots and Jagr added a goal and an assist as the Rangers on the Prudential Center ice. Even defenseman Marc Staal got into the act. Jamie Langenbrunner had two goals for the home team, whose fans eagerly booed...

-Knicks 100, Heat 76: Eddy Curry's 5-for-5 shooting in the third quarter helped the Knicks outscore the Heat, 34-14, in the period and helped New York roll to its second straight win. It's the Knicks' first winning streak of the season, though Friday's win came over a decimated Heat team. The Knicks have won the two games by a combined 44 points, and they've called on a wide range of contributors. Jamal Crawford, who scored 19, called it "the most balanced victory so far." They've had four through their first 10 games.

-Nashville 3 Rangers 0: With most of the building either staying home to watch the Mets or not paying as much attention as usual to the action on the ice, the Rangers played a clunker at the Garden. The tone was set in the first period when Henrik Lundqvist let in a soft goal and the Rangers then failed to score with a 5-on-3 advantage.

Locally, Rick DiPietro and Jason Blake of the Islanders and Jamie Langenbrunner and Brian Rafalski of the Devils made the team. Surprise, surprise, no Rangers made it. Must be because the team is built to win.
