Brodeur's save sparks Devils

John Madden scored 2 goals and Martin Brodeur made 29 saves, including a game-turning penalty shot stop, to lead the New Jersey Devils to a 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday.

Aaron Asham and Jamie Langenbrunner also scored for the Devils, who have won 10 straight from the Flyers in New Jersey. Philadelphia last won in New Jersey on March 9, 2004.

Mike Richards and Daniel Briere scored for the Flyers, who have lost three straight for the first time this season.

The momentum swung in the Devils' favor midway through the second period when Brodeur stopped Briere on a penalty shot.

The score tied at 1, Briere broke into the Devils' zone and was hooked by Vitaly Vishnevski. Briere was awarded a penalty shot at 9:32 but Brodeur won the duel with a stick stop, energizing New Jersey.

Only 40 seconds later, Madden got his second of the game, completing a 2-on-1 short-handed rush with Langenbrunner.

Asham poked in a shot from the slot at 13:57 to put the Devils ahead 3-1.
