NEWARK, N.J. — Craig Anderson made 34 saves, and Kyle Turris scored two goals as the Ottawa Senators beat the New Jersey Devils 2-0 on Wednesday night.

Anderson earned his third shutout of the season and the 29th of his career. He had struggled recently, going 2-6-2 in his previous 10 starts.

The Devils’ losing streak stretched to five games.

PREDATORS: The NHL fined forward James Neal $2,000 for violating the league’s revised rule against embellishing.

Neal was issued a warning after an infraction at St. Louis on Nov. 13. No penalty was called then. His second violation at San Jose on Saturday led to the fine. Neal received a penalty for embellishment on that play.

FLAMES: Coach Bob Hartley has agreed to a multiyear contract extension.

Calgary, mired in a six-game skid, is 71-79-13 since Hartley was hired in May 2012.

PENGUINS: Sidney Crosby skated as he points toward a return from a bout with mumps.

Crosby, who has missed the last three games, worked out on his own before the team took the ice. General Manager Jim Rutherford said Crosby is past the infectious period. It’s uncertain when Crosby will be cleared to play.

The Penguins held goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury and defensemen Olli Maatta and Robert Bortuzzo out of practice while they undergo testing for mumps as a precaution. Forward Beau Bennett remains out with the disease.
