NEWARK, N.J., Dec. 4 (UPI) -- Jamie Langenbrunner scored with 38.1 seconds remaining in the third period Friday to give New Jersey a 3-2 victory over Tampa Bay.

The Lightning appeared on their way to at least one point, but wound losing their fourth in a row.

Tampa Bay climbed into a 2-2 tie with 3 minutes to play on a power-play goal by Steve Downie.

Langenbrunner, however, tipped in a shot by Andy Greene to win it. Martin Brodeur made 22 saves to win his 16th game in 24th starts. It was the 573rd victory of his 17-year career.

Brian Rolston and Niclas Bergfors also scored for the Devils, who have won four of five.

Antero Niittymaki made just 16 saves in taking the loss. It was New Jersey's 10th straight win over Tampa Bay.
