OTTAWA (AP) -Zach Parise and David Clarkson each had a goal and an assist on the power play, and the New Jersey Devils won their eighth straight road game with a 3-2 comeback victory over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night.
The Devils are 8-0 away from New Jersey, the second-longest road winning streak to open a season in NHL history. The Buffalo Sabres started 10-0 on the road to start the 2006-07 season.
New Jersey's power play led the way, scoring three unanswered goals. Parise, Clarkson and Andy Greene had goals for the Devils. Martin Brodeur faced 21 shots.

TORONTO (AP) - Phil Kessel scored his first goal with Toronto and Jonas Gustavsson made 35 saves to lead the Maple Leafs over Detroit.
After a rough start, the Maple Leafs have been improving - buoyed in large part by Gustavsson taking over the No. 1 goaltending job. Toronto moved out of the NHL basement by winning two in a row and earning points in seven straight games (3-0-4).
Wayne Primeau, Jeff Finger, John Mitchell and Alexei Ponikarovsky also scored for Toronto.
Daniel Cleary had the Red Wings' goal.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Tomas Fleischmann scored twice during a five-goal third period, and short-handed Washington beat Florida for a sweep of the home-and-home series.
Washington played a third straight game without two-time NHL MVP Alex Ovechkin, who has an upper body injury. The Capitals were also without injured defensemen Mike Green and Jeff Schultz, both of whom were hurt Friday during a 4-1 victory in Florida.
The Capitals got 23 saves from Jose Theodore and goals 40 seconds apart from Mathieu Perreault and Quintin Laing. Perreault's goal was his first in the NHL.
Fleischmann extended his point streak to a career-high five games with a goal off an excellent pass from Nicklas Backstrom.
Mike Knuble's second goal of the game with 8:54 remaining made it 6-4, and Fleischmann scored again with 6:22 left. The seven goals were a season high for the Capitals.
Cory Stillman scored twice for the Panthers, who have lost two straight after winning three in a row.

Erik Cole and Tim Gleason had goals for Carolina, which lost goalie Cam Ward after he was cut by a skate during the first period and taken to a hospital.
The Hurricanes, who lost their sixth in a row overall, have not won since a 7-2 victory over Florida on Oct. 9. Since then, they have gone 0-9-3, eclipsing an 11-game winless streak in 2003. They are also winless in their last nine road games (0-7-2) and remain the only NHL team without a victory away from home.
