BOSTON – Brian Gionta scored his second goal in the overtime period and Martin Brodeur made 37 saves to lift the Devils to a 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins last night.

New Jersey snapped a a three-game road losing streak when Sergei Brylin circled around the net and connected with a streaking Gionta, who knocked the puck past goalie Tim Thomas while falling to the ice at 2:10 of overtime.

Gionta put the Devils ahead 2-1 with a short-handed goal with 12:04 remaining in the third period, but Wayne Primeau tied the game at 2 for Boston 4:13 later.

Just before Gionta’s goal, P.J. Axelsson missed an opportunity for the Bruins when he fanned on a shot attempt in the crease.

The Devils have beaten Boston all three times they’ve played this season and all by one goal.

Glen Murray gave the Bruins an early 1-0 lead when he converted a pass from Brad Boyes and scored through the legs of Brodeur at 11:01 of the first period.

Patrick Elias tied the game at 1 after the Devils successfully executed a 3-on-2. Elias one-timed a pass from Scott Gomez and beat Thomas at 5:52 into the second period.

Elias has four points in the last two games and has 21 points in 17 games since returning to the Devils lineup.

Thomas made 31 saves and fell to 8-2-4 for the Bruins. He has allowed two goals or less in 11 of his 14 starts.

The Bruins have allowed ten goals over the last six games and are 3-3-4 in their last 10 home games.
