NEWARK, N.J., Dec. 29 (UPI) -- Henrik Lundqvist allowed only a first-period goal and stopped 43 shots Wednesday in leading the New York Rangers to a 3-1 win over New Jersey.

The Devils have lost six in a row and 11 of their last 12. With a win Wednesday by the New York Islanders, New Jersey became the only team remaining in the NHL this season with fewer than 10 victories.

Travis Zajac gave New Jersey the lead 6:31 into the game but Brian Boyle tied it 47 seconds later. Michal Rozsival put the Rangers in front midway through the second period and Brandon Dubinsky added an empty-net goal with 6 seconds to play.

The Rangers won for the fifth time in seven games.

Jacques Lemaire remained winless in three attempts since taking over as New Jersey coach last week. Martin Brodeur stopped 23-of-25 shots for the Devils.
