The Phoenix Coyotes got the better of goalie Martin Brodeur in a 4-3 win over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday, ending a three-game losing streak with a confidence-boosting triumph over the Eastern Conference leaders.
Daniel Winnik scored a go-ahead goal at 11:52 in the third period and Zbynek Michalek added another about a minute later as Brodeur allowed four goals on just 19 shots.
Phoenix (27-16-5) took early control through Matthew Lombardi and Peter Mueller scores late in the first, but the Devils (32-12-1) tied the game in the second when Brian Rolston and Travis Zajac responded for the visitors.
Rolston also tallied the last score of the game with 3:44 to go in a contest that saw him snap a nine-game scoring drought. The Coyotes held on in the end, Phoenix goalie Ilya Bryzgalov doing his part with 31 stops in the win.
"We allowed them to come back in the game and we just kind of stepped on it at the end," Winnik said.
The Phoenix center was clipped in the face following his goal in the third and ended up with a bloody nose.
"He paid the price to win," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "That's not a bad thing. I'd take a bleeding nose for a win, wouldn't you?"
Brodeur's performance came a game after he recorded a career-high 51 saves in a win against the New York Rangers. It was his NHL record 107th shutout as he already holds the all-time goaltending mark for wins and games played.
The Coyotes had been playing inconsistently on offense and were again without one of the top scoring defenseman in Ed Jovanovski who served the second of a two-game suspension after hitting a player with an elbow on Saturday.
In San Jose, California, Zdeno Chara scored the only goal in a shootout as Boston edged San Jose 2-1. Daniel Paille scored in regulation for the Bruins, who won their first game in four. Joe Thornton scored for the Sharks, whose Pacific Division lead was trimmed to nine points over Phoenix.
