Philadelphia Flyers' Ian Laperriere(notes) celebrates his goal as New Jersey Devils fans react during the second period of an NHL hockey game Saturday, Oct. 3, 2009 in Newark, N.J.

Ray Emery made 24 saves, Jeff Carter and Mike Richards scored for the second straight night and the Philadelphia Flyers beat New Jersey 5-2 on Saturday, spoiling Jacques Lemaire's return as the Devils' coach. Emery came within half a period of becoming the first Philadelphia goalie since Hall of Famer Bernie Parent in 1973 to open a season with consecutive shutouts.
