EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Brian Gionta scored the lone shootout goal and Martin Brodeur stopped all three New York attempts to lead the Devils to a 3–2 win over the slumping Rangers last night.

Paul Martin and Zach Parise scored in regulation as the Devils won their third straight, New Jersey’s eighth victory in 11 contests.

Jaromir Jagr and Karel Rachunek scored for the Rangers, who have lost four straight and eight of 11.

After Brodeur made a pad save on the Michael Nylander on the first attempt, Gionta beat Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist with a backhander.

Brendan Shanahan missed the net with the Rangers’ second shot and Matt Cullen was stopped by Brodeur on the third.

While the Rangers had the only power play in the overtime, Lundqvist made the best save, stopping a deflection in close by Gionta.

Jagr tied it at 2 early in the third period with his 20th goal. Brodeur made the initial stop on a shot by defenseman Aaron Ward and the defense pushed the puck behind the net. Jagr retrieved it and, from behind the net, banked it in off Brodeur with the goaltender facing his own net.

Parise had given the Devils a 2–1 lead late in the second period, firing his 21st goal of the season into an almost open net after taking a cross-ice pass from Jamie Langenbrunner.

Martin and Rachunek traded goals in a 75-second span in the first period.
