Penguins blanked by Devils

NEWARK, N.J. — New Jersey is off to a strong start, and Cory Schneider thinks more success is coming for the Devils.

Schneider made 21 stops for his first shutout of the season and Mike Cammalleri had a goal and two assists, leading New Jersey to a dominant 4-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night.

“We’re starting to expect to play this way every game,” Schneider said. “This was an important game for everyone. It’s great when everyone gets involved. It’s a lot of fun.”

David Schlemko, Bobby Farnham and Lee Stempniak also scored for surprising New Jersey, which has won four of five. Adam Henrique added two assists.

The Devils (10-6-1) didn’t earn their 10th win last season until Dec. 4, when they beat Toronto to improve to 10-12-4. It’s definitely a different team under the tutelage of first-year coach John Hynes.

Pittsburgh (10-7-0) lost for the second straight night after winning seven of their previous eight games. The Penguins held a team meeting after the game.

“We needed it to address why we played a game like that,” center Sidney Crosby said. “That’s really what you’re trying to get out of it. That’s pretty much the bottom line.”
