PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Martin Brodeur stopped 22 shots, and Adam Henrique and Cam Janssen each scored goals to lead the New Jersey Devils to a 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night.

Jaromir Jagr added an empty-netter with 1.3 seconds left.

The Flyers beat the Devils 1-0 on Saturday in New Jersey. Henrique’s firstperiod goal would have been enough to stand in this one. Brodeur was never seriously challenged against the NHL’s weakest offense and posted his 122nd career shutout.

The Flyers have scored two goals in their last four games and have twice been shutout over that span.

The anemic Devils haven’t been much better. They were blanked in their last two games, snapping the scoreless drought on Henrique’s goal only 1:57 into the game.
