NEWARK, N.J. -- The New Jersey Devils will return to the playoffs after a years absence with the NHLs current longest winning streak and the biggest wait to start the post-season. New Jersey is going to have to sit around for six days before it opens a first-round series Friday in Florida against the Panthers. It will be the last of the eight, best-of-seven series to start, and one could say the red-hot Devils might lose some momentum with almost a week off. The other seven series start on Wednesday and Thursday. Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur said that time off is so rare during a season that both teams should enjoy and put in a little extra preparation time. "By the end of the day, when the playoffs start, were going to forget about our days off," said Brodeur, who has led the Devils to three Stanley Cups. "This is going to be a grind and I think everybody is really anxious to start. Theres no doubt. I think its in our blood. You finish the season and want to get the playoffs going. You see the possibilities that can happen." Fellow veteran Petr Sykora was one of the few Devils who was openly unhappy with the schedule. "I dont like it. I dont like it, but thats what it is," said Sykora, who won a Stanley Cup with New Jersey in 2000 and who played in all 82 games this season. "We just have to keep ourselves sharp and be ready. Dont get into that kind of phase of just practice after practice after practice. We have to keep our minds sharp and just be ready on Friday. Whatever it takes to be ready on Friday." The time off should help forward David Clarkson and defenceman Anton Volchenkov. Clarkson, who had a career-best 30 goals this season, missed two of the final three regular-season games with a lower body injury. The Russian sat out the regular-season finale against Ottawa with the flu. Clarkson said if the playoffs had started last week, he would have been in the lineup. "Like I said, weve just got to show up, get ready to go to Florida, get ready to play and play the way we did at the end," Clarkson said. "Its always good when you end on a high note the way we did. Now, weve just got to be ready to play in the playoffs." Devils coach Peter DeBoer, who was fired by Florida last season after missing the playoffs for the third straight year, said the Devils havent had a chance to practice for four straight days in a while. "Weve got some meetings," he said. "It gives us more opportunity to take our time and spread the information out a little bit. Get into some more detail on things." DeBoer had given his team off on Sunday so he plans to practice in New Jersey for four days before heading to Florida. The Panthers had to adjust with the Friday start. Coach Kevin Dineen had expected the series to start on Thursday and then was told it was going to begin on Wednesday. He has now cancelled Tuesdays practice because of the long gap. "Well get a couple more days for rest and preparation, which I think is a good thing, an advantage for our team right now," Dineen said. New Jerseys leading goal scorer with 37, Ilya Kovalchuk, smiled when asked about the extra days off. "Now its 21st Century and TV," he said. "Its OK. Well take an extra day off because we played a lot of hockey in March. Its always nice to rest and prepare ourselves the best we can. There are some new things about Florida and we want to go there and play well." Fellow veteran Patrik Elias downplayed the schedule, noting he wasnt even aware the Devils won their final six games. "I think that is a good thing that we dont pay too much attention to these things, if you win, how many you win or if you lose, how many you lose," Elias said. "We just focus on our game." The Devils and Panthers split four regular-season games. Terrance West Youth Jersey . "First, I would like to offer my deepest and sincerest apologies for any harm I have inflicted on University of Missouri defensive lineman, Michael Sam," the statement read. Jim Dray Womens Jersey .S.

Travis Benjamin Jersey . On Tuesday, they did it again. Roy Hibbert scored 22 points and Lance Stephenson fell just short of his fourth triple double this season, helping the Pacers hold off Torontos late charge for an 86-79 victory that allowed them to keep the NBAs best record. Andrew Hawkins Jersey . PAUL, Minn.CALGARY -- For a guy that has spent the majority of the season split between the ECHL and AHL, Winnipeg goaltender Michael Hutchinson sure looked like an NHL goaltender on Friday night. Paul Postma scored the game-winning goal and Hutchinson made 35 saves, including 18 in a perfect third period, as the Jets hung on for a 5-3 win over the Calgary Flames. "Especially with where I started at the start of the year, I didnt think it would be possible to be in the NHL," said Hutchinson, who played Winnipegs final three games compiling a 2-1-0 record, 1.64 goals-against average and .943 save percentage. Postma broke a 3-3 tie at 9:16 of the third, ripping a slapshot past Karri Ramo from the blue-line. "There was a lot of traffic in front of the net and I just wanted to get it through. I took a shot, kept it low and it found a way into the back of the net," said Postma. It then fell upon Hutchinson to preserve the lead as the Flames feverishly buzzed around the Jets end, outshooting the visitors 14-1 before Blake Wheeler put the game away with an empty net goal. "I definitely had a lot of work in the third period but at the same time, our guys played hard in front and blocked a lot of shots," said the 24-year-old. "When your guys are working that hard in front of you, it gives you that added incentive to bear down and make those saves." One of Hutchinsons biggest stops came with four minutes left when he threw out his glove to stab a shot from Kenny Agostino, who had been sent in alone. "Hutch played so well for us these last three games. Hes got a bright future ahead of him and were looking forward to playing with him," Postma said. Michael Frolik, Evander Kane and Carl Klingberg also scored for Winnipeg (37-35-10). It was the final game of the season for the Jets. Going back to its days in Atlanta, the franchise has missed the playoffs the past seven years. Jiri Hudler, Sean Monahan and Kris Russell scored for Calgary (35-39-7), which had its four-game winning streak snapped. "We didnt get the start that we wanted but by the middle of the second period after those two power-play goals, it seemed like the momentum shifted and we had a great third period," said Flames coach Bob Hartley. "We missed a few chances, we hit some posts. The boys were on a mission, they wanted that win for the fans but unfortunately we couldnt get it done." It was Calgarys final game at the Scotiabank Saddledome, where they finish up 19-19-3. After the game as the players saluted the fans with a wave of their sticks at centre ice, the appreciative crowd rose to their feet in a thundering ovation. "It was cool that everyone stayed in the building. Its been great all year. TThe support has been unbelievable," said Flames captain Mark Giordano.dddddddddddd Testament to how hard Calgary has played is its 49 one-goal games (25-18-7), which ties the NHL record set by Florida in 2010-11. "Weve really tried to establish a work ethic and an identity of being one of the hardest-working teams in the league," said veteran Flames centre Matt Stajan. "Its exciting for everybody and Im glad the fans see that. But we know we have a lot of work ahead of us. No one is satisfied in here. We have to find a way to get at least 15 more points next year and get into the playoff picture." Hartley is proud of how his team has played and says the fans are too. "Its mutual respect. Its a great story between this team and the fans. We are all part of a great community and you can feel that pride," Hartley said. "Its on me to keep that pride and keep that progression going. Despite the loss tonight I am really happy how we turned our season, especially at home. Thats where success starts." Down 3-1 halfway through the second, the Flames got a great chance to get back in the game when they got a two-man advantage for 1:31. Mark Stuart put the Jets down two men when he caught Hudler in the face with a high stick. Although just 1-for-9 with a two-man advantage coming into the game, this time Calgary took full advantage when Monahan scored at 11:46 and Russell tied it 24 seconds later. Monahans 22nd goal is the most by a Flames rookie in 24 years, dating back to 1989-90 when Paul Ranheim had 26 and Sergei Makarov had 24. After Hudlers goal reduced the Jets lead to 2-1, Winnipeg restored its two-goal cushion at 8:48 when Klingberg curled out from behind the net and wrapped in his first NHL goal. The Jets scored twice in the first. Frolik on a deflection off of Flames defenceman TJ Brodie at 7:23 then Kane at 16:10 when he ripped a wrist shot into the top corner. "I never ever put a lot of stock into the last games when youre out, except if they quit on each other, if they just say Its fine," said Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice. "They didnt quit and there was nothing on the line." Ramo had 22 stops to see his record fall to 17-14-4. Notes: Rookie Jets D Jacob Trouba left the game halfway through the first period after a shot from Paul Byron hit his own stick blade and struck him in the face. He did not return... Calgary C Mike Cammalleri (virus) did not play... Maurice finishes the year 18-12-5 after taking over as Winnipegs head coach on Jan. 12... Flames signed Hobey Baker winner Johnny Gaudreau and his Boston College linemate Bill Arnold. Both will join the team for practice Saturday in Vancouver and will be in the line-up against the Canucks on Sunday. ' ' '
