Glendale, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Jordin Tootoo and Mike Cammalleri each tallied a goal and an assist as the New Jersey Devils defeated the Arizona Coyotes 4-1 on Saturday.
Stephen Gionta and Adam Henrique each scored, Travis Zajac supplied two assists and Cory Schneider made 30 saves for the Devils, who won in Arizona for the first time since Feb. 12, 2003.
Shane Doan scored the Coyotes' lone goal and Mike Smith allowed all four goals in the team's fourth straight setback.
The Devils opened the scoring on the man advantage with 1:57 left in the second period. Zajac blasted a shot that caromed high off the boards behind the net and Henrique was there to tap the puck in from the side of the cage.
Gionta increased New Jersey's lead to 2-0 just 50 seconds into the third after he skated up to the left side of the net, where he wristed the rebound of Tootoo's shot past Smith's blocker.
Arizona cut the deficit in half as Doan tipped Mark Arcobello's wrist shot past Schneider at 6:05 of the final stanza, but Tootoo restored the Devils' two-goal advantage just 20 seconds later by crashing the net and backhanding a loose puck past Smith.
Smith kicked Andy Greene's slap shot straight to Cammalleri, who buried the puck for a 4-1 game.
