O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00	FINAL New Jersey 2, Carolina 0 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – Martin Brodeur made 18 saves for his ninth career playoff shutout and the Devils defeated the Carolina Hurricanes for the second straight game, winning 2-0 Sunday in Game 2 of their first-round series. Alexander Mogilny and defenseman Sean O'Donnell scored for the defending Stanley Cup champions, who swept Florida in the opening round last year en route to their second Stanley Cup since 1995. The Hurricanes best chances came late in the third period, but Brodeur stopped 41-goal scorer Jeff O'Neill on a power-play shot from the right circle and made a marvelous stop on a slap shot from defenseman David Tanabe after being knocked down in the crease. Shane Willis had Carolina's first breakaway of the series with about five minutes remaining, but Brodeur forced him to shoot over the top of the net. Mogilny gave the Devils the only goal they needed early in the first period on a play set up by a hustling Scott Gomez. The second-year center carried the puck into the Carolina zone 1-on-3, got the puck behind the net and pushed it to Sergei Brylin, who found Mogilny coming down the middle all alone. O'Donnell, who didn't score a goal in 17 regular-season games after being acquired from Minnesota, got his first as a Devil at 2:32 of the second period. Randy McKay controlled the puck in the left circle and found O'Donnell with a pass at the right point for a shot that found a wide-open net. The Devils next home game game will be Tuesday evening at Carolina in game 3 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. Game time is 7:35 PM and will be broadcast nationally on ESPN2. 1st 2nd 3rd TOTAL Carolina 0 0 0 0 New Jersey 1 1 0 2 First Period: Scoring: 1, New Jersey, Mogilny 1 (Brylin, Gomez), 4:16.
