Gomez's shootout goal lifts Devils to win

Scott Gomez scored the only goal of a shootout Tuesday night to give the New Jersey Devils a 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators.

After the teams played to a draw through overtime, it took a controversial goal in the NHL's new tiebreaker to snap the deadlock.

Gomez tried to deke Ray Emery on New Jersey's third shootout try but was stopped as the goaltender slid back into the net. The goal counted after a video review.

Martin Brodeur stopped Daniel Alfredsson to seal the victory.
