Jagr Assists, Schneider Saves, and Devils Win 2nd Straight Jaromir Jagr set up two goals and tied his former teammate Mario Lemieux for 10th on the N.H.L."s career assists list as the host Devils beat Washington 2-1, on Friday, handing the fading Capitals their seventh straight loss. Stephen Gionta and Adam Henrique scored and Cory Schneider continue his stellar play in goal, stopping 30 shots to give the Devils their second straight win. They have earned points in eight of nine games. The assists by Jagr, 41, gave him 1,033 in his 20-year N.H.L. career. He is seven behind Marcel Dionne for the ninth spot. "We're lucky we got 2 points," said Jagr, who played down his career assists total. He said, jokingly, that it showed he was a "great goal scorer." Jason Chimera scored for the Capitals, whose seven-game slide is their longest since late 2010. This was the second game they had played without the All-Star Alex Ovechkin, who is out with a lower-body injury. "I thought we had them on their heels," Schneider said. They are a good team and they need points, so they came out hard. The Devils" Cory Schneider stopped 30 shots in a 2-1 victory. The Devils, who had their biggest goal output since 2010 in a 7-1 win over St. Louis on Tuesday, did not wait long to take the lead against Washington. Capitals defenseman Dmitry Orlov had a puck bounce over his stick in the Devils" zone, and Gionta pushed the puck to Jagr, who returned it to him. Gionta skated the puck into the Washington zone and beat goaltender Michal Neuvirth with a shot from the right circle that squirted through a crease between his elbow and body. Jagr's other assist came on a power play after the Devils skated the puck up the ice with a string of passes. Jagr took a feed from Travis Zajac to the left of Neuvirth and sent a quick cross-crease pass to Henrique for the goal. Schneider, who came into the game with a 0.96 goals against average in his last five starts, did not let the Capitals on the board until Chimera deflected a point shot by John Erskine into the net midway through the final period. Washington had chances before that. Schneider stopped a short-handed breakaway by Jay Beagle in the second period. Brooks Laich's shot later in the second hit the goal post. RED WINGS 4, CANADIENS 1 Henrik Zetterberg, Nicklas Kronwall and Gustav Nyquist each had a goal and an assist to lead Detroit to a victory at home. Jonas Gustavsson made 30 saves for the Red Wings. AVALANCHE 3, PANTHERS 2 Ryan O'Reilly had a goal and an assist to lift visiting Colorado. Semyon Varlamov made 34 saves as the Avalanche won for the fifth time in six games.
