ST. PAUL - Cloquet, Minn., native RW Jamie Langenbrunner sealed his first career hat trick with an empty-net goal, LW Dean McAmmond and LW Jay Pandolfo also scored and G Martin Brodeur made 29 saves, leading the New Jersey Devils past the Minnesota Wild 5-3 in front of an overflow sellout crowd of 19,155 at Xcel Energy Center.
C Mikko Koivu, C Eric Belanger and LW Andrew Brunette scored a goal apiece and G Niklas Backstrom made 21 saves for Minnesota, which has lost three straight and visits Chicago in a nationally-televised game on VERSUS Tuesday before returning home to face Calgary on Wednesday.
The Wild have a tough upcoming schedule and are in danger of going on an extended losing streak.
