NHL Thursday: Devils shut out Flyers; Capitals win in shootout

It's never boring when Pavel Datsyuk is on the ice, and he was at his best once again on Thursday night against the Dallas Stars.

He broke a 2-2 tie midway through the third period with his seventh goal of the season, and it was vintage Datsyuk.

That's Dallas Stars forward Shawn Horcoff trying to get in his way and prevent the shot, but Datsyuk was having none of it and just dangled his way around him before beating Kari Lehtonen with a crazy wrist shot.
