Langenbrunner, Parise lead Devils to 3-1 win

NEWARK, N.J. — Jamie Langenbrunner and Zach Parise each had a goal and an assist while Martin Brodeur made 31 saves Wednesday and the New Jersey Devils extended their winning streak to six games with a 3-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks.

David Clarkson also scored while Andy Greene had two assists for the Devils, winners of three straight at home after dropping their first three at the Prudential Center.

Corey Perry scored for the Ducks and Jonas Hiller made 22 saves.

New Jersey travels to Pittsburgh on Thursday night looking to go 9-0 on the road. The NHL record to start a season is 10-0 set by Buffalo in 2006.

Langenbrunner got the Devils going 38 seconds in, netting their fastest goal from the start of a game this season. Parise tipped the puck back to Greene at the point who flipped a shot on net that Langenbrunner deflected past Hiller.

Anaheim’s top line evened the score at 1 as Perry scored his team-leading 12th goal 2:25 into the second. Bobby Ryan circled behind the Devils’ net, trying for a wraparound stuff. Brodeur blocked the bid but could not control the puck. Ryan Getzlaf took a swipe before the puck squirted across the crease to Perry for the tap-in at the right side of the net.

Perry and Getzlaf both extended their scoring streaks to nine games.

Clarkson put the Devils up 2-1 at 12:52, eluding Anaheim defenseman James Wisniewski with a nifty deke before drilling a shot past Hiller from the slot.

New Jersey finished the period with a 3-1 lead as Parise, sprung by a pass from Langenbrunner, put in his own rebound on short-handed breakaway with 12.7 seconds left.

Down by two in the third, Anaheim tried to claw back. Brodeur made a glove stop on Teemu Selanne’s drive from the left circle about 7 minutes in, and shortly thereafter the Ducks got their fifth power play.

They failed to generate strong pressure with the man advantage, and the Devils did a good job of limiting the Ducks’ chances until Anaheim went on the power play with 3:44 left. Brodeur denied Getzlaf’s one-timer, and the Ducks were done.
