Down 3, Devils win in Kovalchuk’s debut (AP)

New Jersey Devils' Ilya Kovalchuk(notes), of Russia, shoots past Toronto Maple Leafs' Fredrik Sjostrom(notes), right, of Sweden, during the second period of an NHL hockey game Friday, Feb. 5, 2010 in Newark, N.J. Less than 12 hours after being acquired in a blockbuster deal with the struggling Atlanta Thrashers, Kovalchuk skated with the Atlantic Conference-leading Devils in Friday night's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Ilya Kovalchuk's debut with the New Jersey Devils had a storybook ending, except journeyman Jay Pandolfo provided the big goal instead of the high-scoring Russian. Pandolfo capped a three-goal outburst in the final 3:04 and the Devils welcomed Kovalchuk by rallying for a 4-3 victory over the stunned Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday night.
