He tipped Andy Greene’s attempt from the side boards behind Penguins goaltender Casey DeSmith.Hall equaled a career high with his 27th goal and had an assist.

You score points in 22 straight games, there’s got to be some luck involved, and things are going your way, but you want to create those chances.”Sidney Crosby scored his 21st goal and Matt Hunwick tallied his fourth for the Penguins, whose 11-game home win streak ended.The Penguins, who have won 11 of 15 overall, lost in Pittsburgh for the first time since Jan. 4.

It’s going to be a fight until the end and we have to have a consistent effort.”Kyle Palmieri scored his 17th goal for the Devils, who are fighting for an Eastern Conference wild card spot.

The 30-year-old Brassard is in his 10th NHL season, but he said he was nervous when he arrived at the rink.Pittsburgh is trying to become the first team since the 1982-83 New York Islanders to win three straight Stanley Cups, and the Penguins aggressively pursued Brassard, who averaged 19 goals and 48 points during the last five seasons with Ottawa and the New York Rangers.”I was kind of nervous a little bit, which is part of the excitement of being here,” Brassard said. ”But after a couple shifts, I was in the game.”NOTES: F Patrick Maroon did not play for the Devils.
