CITY AND DATE
Pronger, who last played April 30 during a second-round playoff
loss to the Boston Bruins, underwent procedures on his wrist and
back. But general manager Paul Holmgren and coach Peter Laviolette
are optimistic he'll be ready for the regular season. And on
Thursday, he took a big step, registering an assist, one shot, two
blocked shots, and even a 2:00 roughing penalty.
Jaromir Jagr, one of the Flyers' marquee offseason signings,
scored the game winner, his fourth of the preseason, on a power
play at 12:48 of the third.
Martin Brodeur and Ilya Bryzgalov, former All-Star goaltenders
for the Devils and Flyers, respectively, started. Brodeur (25
saves) went the duration. Bryzgalov was replaced at 10:30 of the
second by Sergei Bobrovsky, after 17 stops.
Stephane Veilleux scored for New Jersey.
