NEWARK, New Jersey (Ticker) -- Once again, the so-calledchecking line of the New Jersey Devils helped lead the team tovictory.


John Madden scored a shorthanded goal with 4:12 remaining in thethird period to snap a tie and Zach Parise added somemuch-needed insurance less than two minutes later as the Devilsskated to a 3-2 triumph Friday over the Toronto Maple Leafs.

David Clarkson also tallied and Martin Brodeur made 26 saves forNew Jersey, which has won two in a row following a four-gameslide.


One goal behind Jay Pandolfo for the team lead in goals, Maddenpulled even with his linemate late in the third with his sixthof the season. With Sergei Brylin in the penalty box forhooking, Madden picked up the puck at his own blue line, skatedaround a defender in the neutral zone and unleashed a wrist shotfrom the left faceoff circle that beat goaltender Vesa Toskalato give New Jersey a 2-1 edge.


Just 97 seconds later, Parise's persistence gave the Devils atwo-goal bulge.


From the right circle, Parise fired a shot that was stopped byToskala. He got his own rebound and, after a stuff attempt wasthwarted, poked in his second chance to open a 3-1 lead.

The tally proved crucial as Toronto captain Mats Sundin bankedthe puck off defenseman Paul Martin and into the net from alongthe end boards during a power play with 32 seconds remaining,pulling the Maple Leafs within one.


Jason Blake recorded an assist on the play, giving him 300career points.


Toronto did not get a chance to net the equalizer, however, asBrodeur went on to post his 498th victory.


Looking to win consecutive games for just the second time thisseason, New Jersey grabbed the lead with 5:43 remaining in thefirst period.


Clarkson outraced defenseman Andy Wozniewski down the right wingfor the puck and gained possession in the faceoff circle.After deking Toskala, Clarkson slid the puck into a vacant netfor his first goal of the season and a 1-0 advantage.

The tally held up until midway through the second session asToronto used a set play to break out of its zone and a greatindividual effort by Alex Steen to forge a tie.


From behind the Maple Leafs' net, defenseman Tomas Kaberlebanked a pass off the left wing boards to Jiri Tlusty in theneutral zone. The rookie carried across the blue line andpulled up in the left circle before dishing to Steen.

After undressing blue-liner Sheldon Brookbank, Steen glidedacross the top of the crease and sneaked a backhander underBrodeur's left pad and inside the right goalpost at 10:56 forhis third of the campaign.
