NHL: New Jersey 3, Ottawa 2

OTTAWA (UPI) -- The New Jersey Devils stretched their win streak to five Saturday, using a pair of late goals to down the Ottawa Senators 3-2.

The Devils, who notched their eighth win in nine tries, got third-period goals from David Clarkson and Andy Greene to rally from a 2-1 deficit and stun the Senators in Ottawa as goalie Martin Brodeur made 19 saves.

Ottawa tumbled after coming off an overtime win over Tampa Bay despite goals from Milan Michalek and Brian Lee.

The Devils trailed by one to start the third but got a power play 3:03 into the period.

Clarkson took advantage of a power play by notching his fourth goal of the year at 4:38 of the third period, tying the game. And as Ottawa's Chris Campoli was serving a delay-of-game penalty, Greene scored the go-ahead goal at 7:20. Brodeur wrapped up the win by stopping all six third-period shots he faced.
