GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Jordin Tootoo and Mike Cammalleri each had a goal and an assist and Cory Schneider made 30 saves to help the New Jersey Devils to a 4-1 win against the Arizona Coyotes at Gila River Arena on Saturday.
Adam Henrique and Stephen Gionta also had goals and Travis Zajac had two assists for the Devils (29-29-11), who scored three times in the first 9:25 of the third period to break open a 1-0 game.
Shane Doan scored for Arizona, denying Schneider his second shutout against the Coyotes this season; Schneider defeated them 3-0 in New Jersey on Feb. 23. Schneider improved to 5-1-1 against Arizona in his career, having allowed six goals in seven starts. He stopped 68 of 69 shots in the two games this season.
Arizona (21-40-8) has lost 14 of its past 15 games overall and 13 of its past 14 at Gila River Arena. The Coyotes have scored 20 goals in the past 15 games and have scored one goal or fewer in six of the past seven games.
Mike Smith made 25 saves for Arizona but fell to 11-34-5 this season.
It took more than 48 minutes before the Devils scored the first goal.
With Coyotes forward B.J. Crombeen in the penalty box for high sticking, Zajac's shot from the right point sailed over the net and bounced off the glass and back over the net and Henrique swatted it out of the air at the right post at 18:03. It was Henrique's 14th goal of the season and third in the past four games.
Gionta made it 2-0 less than a minute into the third period, putting home the rebound of a Tootoo shot 50 seconds in for his fifth goal of the year.
Doan got Arizona's goal at 6:06 of the third period by deflecting a Mark Arcobello shot past Schneider for his 13th goal of the year and his first in 15 games. The goal made it a 2-1 game, but it took 19 seconds for Tootoo to restore New Jersey's two-goal lead. Tootoo put in the rebound of a Cammalleri shot for his eighth goal.
Cammalleri scored his 25th goal at 9:25 to give the Devils a 4-1 lead.
