THE Ottawa Senators chalked up their seventh win in a row on Tuesday, blanking the New Jersey Devils 3-0.
Goaltender Brian Elliott anchored the shutout, making 24 saves as the Senators (29-21-4) beat the Devils for the first time in 10 meetings dating back to 2007. Ottawa had a streak of eight consecutive wins the same year.
The victory gave Elliott his first win over three-times Stanley Cup winning goaltender Martin Brodeur.
"It's not so much against him, it's against the team and they play a patient game and pounce on opportunities when you give them to them," Elliott told reporters after recording his fourth career shutout.
"And we really didn't give them opportunities tonight and I think that was the key to the victory."
Alexei Kovalev and Milan Michalek recorded goals in the first period before Jason Spezza provided the knockout blow in the second. It was Spezza's second goal in as many games since returning on Saturday from a 20-game absence due to a knee injury.
Brodeur was pulled from the game after allowing three scores on 12 shots, Yann Danis replacing the standout goaltender for the start of the third. The Devils (34-16-1) have lost five of their last seven but remain second in the Eastern Conference.
"In our plays tonight, we were very predictable," said New Jersey coach Jacques Lemaire. "I felt that offensively we were very easy to play against. All of our plays, there was hesitation on the pass. Against a team that can create a lot and is good with the puck, you can't play that way."
In Uniondale, New York, Washington also notched a seventh straight win, routing New York 7-2.
Capitals star Alex Ovechkin was held in check, but Alexander Semin scored twice for Washington, which netted four goals in the first period. Brendan Morrison and Mike Knuble also scored in the first period for the NHL's most potent offense.
Washington has scored at least four goals in 10 of the past 11 contests.
In Detroit, Shane Doan's goal 3:50 into overtime capped Phoenix Coyotes' comeback from a two-goal deficit to beat the Red Wings 5-4. Phoenix got goals from Ed Jovanovski and Keith Yandle in the last 1:30 to tie it at 4-4.
Also, it was: Blue Jackets 3, Predators 2; Blackhawks 4, Oilers 2; Panthers 2, Canadiens 1; Thrashers 2, Ducks 1; and Kings 5, Leafs 3.
