EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – The New Jersey Devils are going to the Eastern Conference finals for the third time in four years.

Grant Marshall scored on a rebound at 11:12 of the third overtime and the Devils eliminated the Tampa Bay Lightning with a 2-1 victory in Game 5 on Friday night.

The Devils will face the winner of the Philadelphia-Ottawa series for the right to advance to the Stanley Cup finals.

The Flyers and Senators are tied 2-2 in their best-of-seven series.

It will be the Devils’ fourth appearance in the conference finals since 1995, and they haven’t lost one – winning two Cups and losing a third in a deciding Game 7 to Colorado in 2001.

Scott Niedermayer also scored for New Jersey and Martin Brodeur, who only allowed eight goals in the five games with the Lightning, made 38 saves in the second-longest game in Devils’ history.
