Seventh shutout for Brodeur, 3-0

Martin Brodeur made 28 saves for his NHL-leading seventh shutout of the season and Brian Gionta scored twice, lifting New Jersey to a 3-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday at Montreal. Scott Gomez and Brian Rafalski each had two assists for the Devils, who have won three in a row.

“It’s huge. Things are so tight still,” Gionta said. “We’re just trying to gain some ground and we played two good teams, so to win back-to-back on the road is pretty good.”
