NEWARK, New Jersey (Ticker) -- The scene was set for asignature night at the Prudential Center. Unfortunately for theNew Jersey Devils, it was mostly downhill after the openingminute.


Jaromir Jagr had a goal and an assist and Scott Gomez set up apair of tallies in his return to New Jersey as the New YorkRangers held on for a 4-2 victory over the Devils on Wednesday.

Entertaining the Rangers for the first time in their new home,the Devils bolted to a 1-0 lead when Jamie Langenbrunner scored35 seconds into the game on his first shift of the season. ButNew York answered less than a minute later when Nigel Dawesfinished off a 2-on-1 rush.


The rest of the night belonged to Jagr, Gomez and goaltenderHenrik Lundqvist as the Rangers denied Martin Brodeur his 500thcareer victory while defeating New Jersey for the third time inas many meetings this season.


Just over a minute into the second period, Jagr peeled off theright wing boards, stickhandled past checking specialist JayPandolfo and threw the puck at the net. Brandon Dubinsky gotthe rebound and flicked a backhander past Brodeur for his secondgoal of the season - both in the last three games - and a 2-1edge.


The Devils did not get a shot for the first 9 1/2 minutes of thesecond and needed a stellar effort from Brodeur just to staywithin a goal. He stopped defenseman Fedor Tyutin breaking downthe slot with 10:45 remaining, then, while seated in the creasewith 7:19 left, got his left arm on a wrister by Jagr thatappeared ticketed for a gaping net.


New Jersey showed signs of life as the period wound down, butLundqvist got his right pad on Zach Parise's rebound chance with6:37 to play, then snared a backhander by Parise off anotherrebound during a power play with 3:51 left.


The Rangers, however, took the momentum into the locker room onan strong individual effort by Jagr. After his centering passfrom behind the net hit the twine and Brodeur, New York'scaptain retrieved the puck and backhanded it inside the leftgoalpost for his fourth tally of the season.


Gomez, who signed a seven-year contract with the Rangers lastJuly after seven seasons with the Devils, was booed every timehe touched the puck. But he helped set up Jagr's goal to extendhis points streak to seven games, then got the primary assiston defenseman Marc Staal's first NHL tally at 4:13 of the third.

Langenbrunner scored again just over three minutes later, butLundqvist blunted New Jersey's comeback attempt when he deniedBrian Gionta on a shorthanded breakaway with 5:52 remaining.

The Devils could not have asked for a better start.Langenbrunner, who missed the first 17 games following offseasonhernia surgery, got the rebound of defenseman Johnny Oduya'sone-timer from the left point and beat Lundqvist from the top ofthe crease.


But before the goal was announced on the public-address system,Dawes raced down the left side on a 2-on-1. Using Petr Pruchaas a decoy, he put a wrister from the left side betweenBrodeur's skates for his fourth goal, three of which have comeagainst New Jersey.
