Could Alex Burmistrov find his way back to the NHL? According to Slava Malamud, foreign correspondent for Sport-Express.ru, the former Jet may be looking to do just that as long as its not in Winnipeg. “He said that he knows that the Jets were looking to trade him, and if thats the case then he wouldnt mind it as long as he comes back to the NHL,” Malamud said while on TSN 1290s Rona Roundtable with Rick Ralph in reference to comments made to a Russian publication about Burmistrovs intentions of possibly coming back to the NHL. “Hes being kind of diplomatic there, but the vibe I caught from that exchange when I read it in the original Russian was that hes not too hot on the idea of coming back to Winnipeg, and he might want to try his luck somewhere else,” Malamud said. Burmistrov failed to live up to his billing as a top-10 NHL pick while in Winnipeg, with reports surfacing that he failed to see eye-to-eye with the teams coaching staff. “The vibe I got from him was that he didnt really like it anymore in Winnipeg,” Malamud said following Burmistrovs departure. “Not necessarily the city, but he didnt like the way he was being used. One of the phrases he said was, ‘Im willing to go to any club thats willing to let me play. That sort of implies that the Jets didnt let him play, or didnt let him play the way he wanted to play.” The Jets and Burmistrov parted ways following the 2012-13 season as the now 22-year-old returned to his hometown club Kazan Ak-Bars, where he posted a team-leading 10 goals and 37 points in 54 games. “I think that right now hes ready to come back because hes one of those Russian kids who grew up in the late 90s, and for them the NHL was their ultimate dream. I dont think hes willing to give up on that yet." Should he return to the NHL, the Jets hold his rights and would have to deal Burmistrov to another club for him to be eligible to play. “I think Burmistrov still thinks he can be a top six guy in the National Hockey League, whether there are NHL clubs who think the same, thats the question. I dont think hes going to make it as a grinder.” The Rona Roundtable with Rick Ralph airs weekdays from 11am-1pm CT on TSN 1290 Winnipeg. To listen to the rest of the interview download the podcast.

Jerry West Lakers Jersey . -- David Ortiz saved his only hit for a key moment for the Boston Red Sox. NEWARK, N.J. -- During the course of a season, New Jersey Devils coach Pete DeBoer draws up hundreds of faceoff plays in practice or on the bench. "Rarely do they work," DeBoer said. "Either you lose the draw or you dont get a bounce." The unexpected happened Saturday night. Marek Zidlicky scored with 2.1 seconds showing on the overtime clock after a late timeout by DeBoer and a faceoff win by Travis Zajac to lift the Devils to a stirring 2-1 win over the Florida Panthers. Jaromir Jagr also played a big part in the win, nudging the faceoff win with just over three seconds to play to Zidlicky at the top of the right circle for a shot into the top corner of the net past Tim Thomas. "Pete drew it up, that if I can get it to Jags, he was going to slide it to Zid for a one-timer," Zajac said. "What you saw was what he wanted us to do. Everyone executed their part. It was the perfect setup, really. I was lucky." Zidlicky was perfect with his shot for his eighth goal of the season, the one that helped New Jersey avoid a shootout. The Devils have lost their last 10 shootouts, one shy of the NHL record recently set by Detroit. "That was a great draw, and a great pass. Thats where it all started ... and I just took the shot," Zidlicky said after the Devils finished a 2-0-1 homestand. "That was the perfect setup for us. We try it all the time, and a lot of times it doesnt work. Tonight, it did." Jagr joked that he never got a chance to congratulate Zidlicky because his Czech countryman skated away to hog the glory. The play was good, though. "Just go take a look at the board over there," Jagr said. "It happened just the way we drew it up. Itll probably never happen that way again. It happened exactly the way we wanted to do it. The key was the faceoff. It started with Travis." Jagr earned his 1,724th NHL point, moving him ahead of former Pittsburgh Penguins teammate Mario Lemieux and into seventh place on the leagues career scoring list. Panthers coach Peter Horaceck was more disappointed with his team for its overall play in the game rather than the late goal, which he said was a great shot. "It wasnt very good," he said. "We didnt deserve anything, and we got a point for something we didnt deserve. We didnt play very well.dddddddddddd They outplayed us most of the game." Still, the late goal was tough on a night in which Thomas was outstanding in making 34 saves. "This is about as bad as it gets," Panthers goal scorer Nick Bjugstad said. "Five seconds. That puck had eyes and went in. What are you going to do? I saw out there I had to block that shot." Michael Ryder extended his goal streak to four games, and Cory Schneider made 29 saves in giving New Jersey its second straight win. With both teams in the bottom half of the Eastern Conference and needing points, the third period was wide open despite the 1-1 tie. Both teams had great chances, but Thomas and Schneider stopped them on the doorstep. Thomas best saves in the period came on a deflection by Reid Boucher and a stuff attempt by Ryane Clowe in the final two minutes. Schneider denied a power-play chance early in the period by Tomas Kopecky, and a shot by Sean Bergenheim with 9.2 seconds left in regulation. Ryder gave the Devils a 1-0 lead with his team-high 16th goal late in the first period. Thomas made a couple of good stops but the Panthers had trouble clearing their zone. Defenceman Erik Gudbranson tried to carry the puck around the net, but Clowe stripped him of the puck and found Ryder alone in front. Florida tied it about a minute after Thomas robbed Adam Henrique on a rebound attempt that prevented New Jersey from taking a two-goal lead. A Panthers counterattack produced the tying goal. Scottie Upshall carried the puck up the right boards and gave it to Bjugstad. He found Tomas Fleischmannn, who sent a pass in front that Bjugstad redirected into the upper corner of the net past Schneider. Schneider stopped breakaways by Upshall and Kopecky in the first two periods. Thomas had at least a half dozen good saves, including stopping a short-handed breakaway by Ryan Carter early in the third. Schneider also got a break when a shot by Brian Campbell hit of the post during a power play. NOTES: Former NBA great Shaquille ONeal dropped the puck during a ceremonial opening faceoff. ...
