NHL ROUNDUP Wednesday’s games

Devils 5, Stars 0

NEWARK, N.J. — Martin Brodeur shut out Dallas even though he couldn’t quite shut up Sean Avery. Brodeur made 21 saves for his 98th career shutout and mostly avoided Avery, his No. 1 nemesis. John Madden scored two goals for the Devils, who chased Marty Turco from the net in the second period. Zach Parise and David Clarkson had goals 53 seconds apart in the third period, and Jamie Langenbrunner also scored. Avery made headlines last spring when he waved his arms and stick in the face of Brodeur while he and the New York Rangers were on a power play.

Sharks 7, Flyers 6, SO

PHILADELPHIA — Jeremy Roenick scored the deciding goal in a shootout for San Jose to hand Philadelphia its season-opening sixth straight loss. Joe Pavelski also scored for San Jose in the shootout. Pavelski and Roenick both beat Martin Biron to the glove side to help the Sharks salvage the victory after they blow a 6-4 lead in the third period. Pavelski had a goal and assist in regulation, Patrick Marleau added two goals and two assists, and Ryane Clowe and Devin Setoguchi each had a goal and an assist. Joffrey Lupul scored twice and Jeff Carter, Mike Richards, Scottie Upshall and Danny Briere added goals for the winless Flyers.

Panthers 3, Senators 1

OTTAWA — Rostislav Olesz and Nathan Horton scored 48 seconds apart, and Craig Anderson made 41 saves in his first start of the season for Florida. Cory Stillman assisted on Horton’s goal that made it 2-0 in the first, then scored his third of the season midway through the second to restore Florida’s two-goal lead. Daniel Alfredsson had a power-play goal for Ottawa.
