Senators blank Devils to take series lead

Monday, April 30th, 2007
Defenceman Tom Preissing scored 4:46 into the third period to lead the Ottawa Senators to a tight 2-0 NHL playoff victory over the New Jersey Devils on Monday night. Mike Comrie banked a shot off the end boards on a rush that came to Preissing on the right wing for a high blast. It beat Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur to the glove side - a vulnerable spot for the future Hall of Fame goalie for much of these playoffs.

The Suns can finish off Kobe Bryant & Co. at home on Wednesday night.
