Shutout king Brodeur wins

Martin Brodeur made 22 saves for his 108th NHL shutout and Travis Zajac scored the winning goal late in the second period as the New Jersey Devils snapped a three-game losing streak with a 2-0 victory over the Florida Panthers on Wednesday night.

Dean McAmmond added a short-handed, empty-net goal in the final minute for the Atlantic Division-leading Devils.

Brodeur (30-14-1), the league’s career leader in wins and shutouts, earned his seventh blanking of the season. He is tied with Patrick Roy with an NHL-record 13 seasons of at least 30 wins.

Florida fell short of achieving its first four-game winning streak of the season.
