Devils Blank Flyers, 4-0

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - Cory Schneider made 16 saves in his first shutout of the season, and the New Jersey Devils beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-0 on Thursday night to stop a seven-game losing streak.

P.A. Parenteau, Miles Wood, Adam Henrique and Kyle Palmieri scored for New Jersey, which won for the first time since defeating Vancouver 3-2 on Dec. 6.

The shutout was the 22nd of Schneider's career, and first in 45 games. His previous one occurred on Jan. 16 last season, a 2-0 win over the Arizona Coyotes.

Schneider's 16 saves were the second-fewest he has made in a shutout. He had 15 in the Devils' 1-0 win over Buffalo on Nov. 30, 2013.

Entering the game, New Jersey (13-13-7) and Philadelpha (20-12-4) were on significantly different trajectories. The Devils had dropped 12 of 15, while the Flyers had won 11 of their last 13.

Following a 10 game winning streak, Philadelphia has dropped three of four.
