Devils: John MacLean scored on the first shot of the game and set up a short-handed goal as New Jersey defeated Los Angeles, 3-1, on Tuesday. . . . Center Neal Broten was not in the lineup and was fined Tuesday for skipping a "punishment" practice coach Jacques Lemaire ordered last week after a poorly played final game before the All-Star break.
Flyers: Philadelphia acquired troubled center Dan Quinn from Ottawa on Tuesday for future considerations. Quinn was the Senators' second leading scorer when he suddenly was let go with little explanation on New Year's Eve. In 28 games this season, he had six goals and 18 assists.
Islanders: New York finally traded disgruntled center Kirk Muller on Tuesday in a three-way deal. Muller was sent to Toronto along with Ottawa goaltender Don Beaupre. The Islanders received Maple Leafs minor-league left wing Ken Belanger, Senators center Martin Straka and 18-year-old defenseman Brian Berard, the top overall pick in last June's NHL draft by Ottawa. The Senators got Toronto backup goaltender Damian Rhodes and junior defenseman Wade Redden, the Islanders' first-round pick last year, and second overall behind Berard.
