WASHINGTON (AP) - Scott Clemmensen ran his fingers over the indentation on the cage of his goalie's mask, a battle scar from his first victory in 11 months.
Jamie Langenbrunner's power-play goal broke a third-period tie, Clemmensen won in his first appearance since Dec. 14 and the New Jersey Devils beat the Washington Capitals 3-2 on Sunday.
"I was kind of hoping my first win (of the year) wouldn't be in February, but so be it," Clemmensen said.
Langenbrunner snapped a 2-2 tie 16 seconds into a tripping penalty by Brian Pothier on Mike Rupp, chipping a high shot from between the circles with 9:56 left in regulation. The puck bounced by Brent Johnson as New Jersey's Scott Gomez was being cross-checked into the goal by Shaone Morrisonn.
