02/18/2007 - Uniondale, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Martin Brodeur rebounded from one of his worst starts of the season, turning aside all 26 shots he faced as the New Jersey Devils blanked the New York Islanders, 2-0, at Nassau Coliseum in a chippy affair that featured three fights.
On Friday, Brodeur yielded five goals on just 24 shots as New Jersey fell to the Penguins, 5-4. However, the future Hall-of-Famer responded on Saturday to record his 11th shutout of the season and the 91st of his career.
John Madden and Sergei Brylin each scored for the Devils, who have won five straight against the Islanders this season.
Rick DiPietro was strong in net with 28 saves for New York, which saw its brief two-game winning streak come to an end.
The Devils struck first on a pretty tic-tac-toe play with 5:39 left in the opening period as Madden netted his ninth goal of the season.
Then, with 6:34 left in the middle stanza, the Devils took advantage of a power play to double their lead. Patrik Elias, from the slot, sent a pass down low for Brylin, who stuffed home the rebound from his own shot to make it 2-0.
Game Notes
New Jersey finished 1-for-4 on the power play, while the Islanders squandered four chances with the man-advantage...New York has now split the first two games of a seven-game homestand...The Devils were still without top goal scorer Brian Gionta, who is out with a groin pull.

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
