NASHVILLE, Jan. 3 (UPI) -- Tomas Vokoun made 38 saves for his 82nd career win and David Legwand scored twice as Nashville held on Saturday for a 3-2 victory over New Jersey.
Making his 19th consecutive start, Vokoun needed 241 games to move past former Devil Mike Dunham, who had 81 wins in 217 games with Nashville. The 27-year-old Czech surrendered a goal to John Madden in the final minute but withstood a late flurry.
Legwand opened the scoring on the power play in the first period and was credited with the eventual game-winner 5:20 into the third.
Defenseman Mark Eaton had the other goal for the Predators, who had been 0-4-0 all-time at home against New Jersey. But Nashville is unbeaten in 10 of its last 11 home games (7-1-2-1).
Patrik Elias also scored for the Devils, who are winless in five of their last six games (1-2-2-1).
