Second period goals by Rod Pelley (2) and Paul Martin (1) gave the Devils all the goals that they needed to support Martin Brodeur in net.
Brodeur swatted away all 22 shots that he faced and never really seemed threatened other than a 1 on1 save on Ilya Kovalchuk,who took advantage of a Johnny Oduya misplay and cruised in for the shot before being denied by Brodeur.
Martin's goal was on a 5 on 3 power play chance.
Jay Pandolfo scored the final goal late in the game into the open net for Pandolfo's 10th goal of the season.
The victory was the Devils 3 in a row and pulls them up to .500 on the season.

The Ashland Arrows season ended in the Ohio state semis with a 35-20 loss to the Cincinnati Anderson Redskins.
The Redskins ran for over 300 yards against the Arrows and seemed to be the difference in the game.
Taylor Housewright threw for 348 yards and a TD,but his fumble late in the first half may have been the turning point of the game.
Anderson scored a touchdown with seconds remaining in the half to move their lead to 21-10.
The Arrows would not get closer.
Bullpen Notes
Sorry to hear about Dennis Franchione resigning at Texas A&M.
We always thought he seemed like a standup person and thought A&M would be a great fit,but things didn't work out.
But at least he went out a winner with the Aggies upset win over Texas
yesterday.Former Athletic pitcher Joe Kennedy shockingly passed away yesterday at the age of 28.
Death at such a young age always makes us ponder life and we offer our condolences to his family.
