EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Dec. 1 (UPI) -- Jason Arnott collected two goals and an assist and Martin Brodeur stopped 16 shots Saturday night as the New Jersey Devils cooled off the Detroit Red Wings, 4-1, in the finale of a home-and-home series.
New Jersey won for just the second win in 11 games.
The three-point effort came one night after New Jersey coach Larry Robinson reunited the "A Line" of Arnott, Patrik Elias and Petr Sykora. Arnott lifted the Devils into a 1-1 tie late in the first period, set up Jay Pandolfo's insurance goal midway through the second and capped the scoring on the power play less than three minutes later.
Rookie Andreas Salomonsson got the eventual game-winner for New Jersey, which broke a three-game home losing streak.
Rookie Pavel Datsyuk scored 9:07 into the first period to put Detroit in front, but the league-leading Red Wings mustered little offense thereafter and had a nine-game unbeaten streak snapped.
