Devils look for second straight victory

Dec 30, 2008 - 1:47 PM New Jersey (20-11-3) at St. Louis (14-19-3), 8:00 p.m. EST

ST. LOUIS (Ticker) -- The New Jersey Devils finally snapped out of a scoring funk in the first contest of a three-game road trip.

Seeking their second straight victory, the Zach Parise and the Devils visit the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday.

The Devils, who are 13-4-1 in their past 18 games, trudged through a two-game losing streak while failing to notch a goal for a team-record 159 minutes, 18 seconds.

However, Travis Zajac had a goal and two assists and Parise and Patrik Elias each tallied as New Jersey cruised to a 4-2 victory over the New York Rangers in a battle of Atlantic Division foes on Saturday.

Parise now has 39 points in his last 30 games, and has scored in 16 of those.

Scott Clemmensen continued to shine in goal, finishing with 31 saves and improving to 12-5-1. Called into action last month after an injury to star netminder Martin Brodeur, Clemmensen has posted an impressive 2.15 goals-against average this season.

St. Louis continues to be plagued by inconsistency and has won consecutive games just once since a three-game winning streak from November 21-25.

Brad Boyes has a team-leading 17 goals for the Blues, who have lost eight of their last 10.
