BOSTON (AP) - The New Jersey Devils' winning formula remains the same: play good defence and then count on Martin Brodeur to make the saves.
Jay Pandolfo and Jamie Langenbrunner scored first-period goals, and Brodeur stopped 19 shots to lead the Devils to their season-high, fifth straight win, a 5-1 victory over the Boston Bruins on Saturday night.
The Devils' winning streak came after a season-high, four-game losing streak. They led 2-0 after one period and that was all they needed.
"It's not rocket science. It's smart hockey. It's Devils' hockey, I guess," New Jersey defenceman Colin White said. "With Marty back there, we rely on him most of the year."
