NEWARK, New Jersey (Ticker) -- Rick DiPietro has turned thetables on the New Jersey Devils.


After losing to New Jersey six straight times last season,DiPietro made 26 saves for his second shutout of the season and13th career to backstop the New York Islanders to a 1-0 victoryover the Devils.


Josef Vasicek scored the lone goal for New York, which improvedto 3-0-0 against New Jersey this season.


After winning his first meeting with the Devils in 2006-07,DiPietro was in net for each of the Islanders' six straightlosses in the series but was injured for the season finale inwhich Wade Dubielewicz won in a shootout to clinch a playoffberth for New York.


Vasicek scored for the third time in as many games against theDevils this season, netting a shorthanded goal 5:25 into thesecond period. Vasicek was on the forecheck when Devilsdefenseman Mike Mottau fell down in the right faceoff circle andlost the puck.


Vasicek gained possession, deked twice at the top of the creaseand took a shot that deflected off Martin Brodeur, into the air,over the netminder and across the goal line for histeam-leading seventh goal. He scored just six times in 63 gameswith Nashville and Carolina last season and has not reachedseven since 2003-04, when he netted a career-high 19 with theHurricanes.


Despite making 24 saves, Brodeur was denied for the thirdstraight time in an attempt at his 500th career win. He lost onthe road to the Islanders on November 10th and at home to theNew York Rangers on Wednesday.


The Devils' next four games are on the road, increasing thelikelihood the historic win will come away from the newPrudential Center.


With DiPietro's 99th career victory, the Islanders improved to1-2-0 on their four-game road trip against Atlantic Divisionrivals, which concludes Monday against the Rangers.

DiPietro was not tested much early on but came up with a glovesave on Zach Parise and a kick stop on defenseman Johnny Oduyain a short span midway through the third period. He glovedOduya's one-timer from the high slot with 7:09 left, then 15seconds later smothered Travis Zajac's wrist shot from betweenthe circles.


In making seven saves in the first period, nine in the secondand 10 in the third, DiPietro led the Islanders to the 499throad win in franchise history.
