The New Jersey Devils(6-3-0) ended the Pittsburgh Penguins(9-2-0) seven game win streak with an all around offensive effort and Martin Brodeur was able to keep the powerful Pens offense in check in a 4-1 win.
The Devils jumped out to a 1-0 lead off of Mark Faser's first career goal 9:50 into the first period, Marc-Andre Fleury appeared to have stopped the shot but he accidentally batted it in for the goal. In the second period the Devils would get a power play opportunity and they would capitalize on it when Niclas Bergfors put the puck past Fleury for a 2-0 lead. Early in third period New Jersey would out distance themselves even more when Travis Zajac would rebound a missed Zach Parise shot into an open net and before the Pens realized it they were down 3-0.
Alex Goligoski would break the shut out for the Pens midway through the third period but that was the only bit of offense the Penguins were able to muster in a lackluster effort. Parise would score later in the third to make the final score 4-1. The Devils held Evgeni Malkin in check holding him to zero points on zero shots. The Penguins lost for the first time all season with Marc-Andre Fleury in net. Fleury turned aside 22 of 26 shots. The Penguins w are home for their next game against the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday.
GO PENGUINS!
