NEWARK, NJ. Tampa Bay Lightning just couldn't get past New Jersey Devils goaltender Kevin Weekes in a 4-3 loss on Wednesday night at the start of a five-game road trip. After allowing a shootout goal to Vincent Lecavalier, Weekes stopped Jussi Jokinen and Vaclav Prospal to lift the Devils to a 4-3 win. Weekes' heroics came just a day after the Devils learned their franchise player Martin Brodeur will be sidelined for months.
Jokinen scored twice for Tampa Bay, and Martin St Louis tied it late in the third period, but the Lightning's three-game winning streak ended. ''We battled back in the last two games,'' Jokinen said. ''That's the sign of a good hockey team. I think the first and third periods were very good hockey for us.'' Elias and captain Jamie Langenbrunner scored in the shootout for New Jersey, which won for the second time in six games.
