Holik Leads Devils To Victory

Breaking a goal-scoring slump, Bobby Holik scored his second goal with 1:33 left in overtime Friday night to give the Devils a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers at East Rutherford, N.J..

The victory moved New Jersey one point ahead of Ottawa in the race for the top seeding in the Eastern Conference. Both teams finish the regular season today.

Holik has scored 26 goals but had scored only once in his last 21 games.
