STREAK BUSTER

New Jersey Devils goalie Martin Brodeur will miss at least one game with a bruised elbow, ending a career-high streak of 51 regular-season starts. The team said Brodeur will not start Monday against the Buffalo Sabres after being injured Saturday in a 6-1 win over Atlanta. He was set to undergo an X-ray and MRI examination Sunday. Brodeur's streak began Jan. 8 last season.

SCORING AT WILL

Vancouver came in with the NHL's only perfect penalty killing on home ice but was no match for the Red Wings' league-leading power play. Detroit wasted little time improving on its 30.4 percent efficiency, scoring on their first shot with the man advantage to end the Canucks' streak of 12-straight kills at home. The Red Wings finished 3-for-5 on the power-play.

MILESTONES

SPEAKING

"When you don't come ready to play, that's what you get. "I can live playing 1-0, and 2-1 games if that's what we need to win. There is no excuse for not showing up ready to go to work." — Panthers coach Peter DeBoer after Florida's 5-3 loss to Atlanta.
