The New Jersey Devils played a complete 60 minute game, getting goals from four different players to end the Penguins 7 game winning streak Saturday night.
The Devils frustrated the Penguins in the neutral zone and got 32 saves from Martin Brodeur in a 4-1 win over Pittsburgh.
In a matter of three days, the Devils have beaten the top two points leaders in the Eastern Conference.
The Devils limited the Penguins chances playing a tight defensive game and attacking the Penguins offensively on creating turnovers in the neutral zone.
Devils head coach Jacques Lemaire who implements a trapping style was very pleased with his teams performance against Pittsburgh.
“I think that we played a really good, tight game,” Lemaire said. “We didn’t give them much. I really enjoyed the game because we had no passengers; everyone did their job and was good with the puck. The Penguins were waiting for a little life, which we never gave them.”
After a slow start, the Devils are now 6-3 on the season and 5-0 on the road for the first time in team history.

One of the most under-rated players in the game is Stars winger James Neal. Neal, 22, was a primary target for the Penguins last year in trade talks regarding Ryan Whitney and the young forward is a restricted free agent at seasons end and will be in line for a big payday from the Stars.
