Quebec’s Michel Goulet gave Quebec a 3-2 lead at 7:00 of the third period on a power play, deflecting a shot that beat goalie Patrick Roy to the stick side. Rookie Jason Lafreniere tied the score, 2-2, at 2:56 when Goulet fed him a pass in the slot.

Calgary 9, New Jersey 2--Mike Bullard scored twice to spark a six-goal second period as the Flames overpowered the Devils at Calgary.

The loss marked the first time the Devils (12-7-2) have dropped two straight games this season and it extended their winless streak at Calgary to seven games. New Jersey last won at Calgary on Nov. 27, 1982.

The Flames (11-8-3) outshot the Devils, 19-9, in the second period while setting a club record for goals in a period.
