Newark, New Jersey: Cory Schneider had 38 saves for his third shutout of the season as the New Jersey Devils posted their first four-game winning streak in two years with a 3-0 decision over the fading Arizona Coyotes on Monday night.
Scott Gomez tallied on a first-period breakaway and Mike Cammalleri had breakaway and empty-net goals in the third period for New Jersey, who had not won four in a row since early February 2013.
The win moved the Devils within eight points of a wild-card spot in their long shot bid to make the play-offs for the first time in three seasons. It also gave them points in 14 of their last 16 games at the Prudential Centre (11-2-3).
Mike Smith made 25 saves for the Coyotes, who lost their season-high sixth in a row.
