NEW YORK (Ticker) - The New York Rangers were on their longestlosing streak of the season and a game against the New JerseyDevils was exactly what they needed to end it.


Brendan Shanahan scored 30 seconds into overtime and HenrikLundqvist recorded his fifth shutout of the season as theRangers snapped a three-game skid with a 1-0 victory over theDevils.


Lundqvist stopped four shots in the first, nine in the secondand four in the third to post his 12th career shutout and helpthe Rangers end the Devils' season-best nine game winningstreak.


Shanahan said it was easy for the Rangers to get up for theDevils, who they have beaten four straight times.


"Coming into a situation like this game where we've lost threein a row, I think we were all happy it was the Devils coming inbecause you know the game was going to have a lot ofatmosphere," Shanahan said.


"Let's face it, go ask their coaches," New Jersey coach Brent<div class="pre">Sutter said. "It was probably one of the better games they've</div>played in a while. When you go on a run like we've been,everybody is gearing to play you because they want to knock youoff. When you put the Rangers-Devils thing into it, that justadds to it."


Lundqvist rebounded after having allowed eight goals in justfive periods during the losing streak.


New York's ability to not get frustrated when Martin Brodeurstopped its first 28 shots paid off when Shanahan blasted aone-timer from the right faceoff circle that deflected off NewJersey defenseman Andy Greene's shinpad and past Brodeur.

"It was not a huge breakdown by them," Shanahan said. "Therewas not a whole lot of room. It's the way that game was goingto be. It was going to be a quick play, open for a second. Itwasn't sort of a breakdown and a breakaway or a 2-on-1 a 3-on-1.It was just going to be someone threading the needle with thepass and being opportunistic."


"I know he was not aiming it there," Brodeur said. "But he'sshooting hard at the net and he found a small hole because mywhole body was caught up and he just beat me top shelf."

Former Devil Scott Gomez made the pass from the corner and whenShanahan converted it, the Rangers had their fourth win in asmany tries against New Jersey.


It was certainly not easy for the Rangers, who outshot theDevils, 29-17. They could not get their first 28 shots pastMartin Brodeur, who entered the game with a 1.53 goals-againstaverage and a .940 save percentage in his last nine contests.

"Marty is Marty," Gomez said. "Those whole club over there,they are tremendous. What can you say? They put a great stretchtogether there."
