NEWARK, N.J., Feb. 5 (UPI) -- Ilya Kovalchuk continued his recent hot streak with a goal and two assists Sunday in the New Jersey Devils' 5-2 win over Pittsburgh.

Zach Parise contributed a goal and an assist while Anton Volchenkov and Dainius Zubrus also found the net for the Devils.
Martin Brodeur turned aside 28-of-30 shots to earn the win and picked up an assist on David Clarkson's empty-net goal.
Evgeni Malkin and Matt Niskanen scored for the Penguins, who lost for just the second time in 11 games.
Marc-Andre Fleury started in net for Pittsburgh but was yanked after yielding three goals on 12 shots.
Brent Johnson relieved and stopped 11-of-12 shots the rest of the way.
