Devils 3, Hurricanes 1

Adam Henrique, Michael Cammalleri and Kyle Palmieri each had a goal and an assist, leading New Jersey over Carolina on Tuesday night.

Carolina ended an 11-game home points streak (10-0-1), and the Devils clinched the four-game season series. New Jersey has defeated the Hurricanes twice in regulation and once in overtime in three meetings.

Sebastian Aho scored for Carolina.

Devils goalie Cory Schneider made 29 saves a night after shutting out the visiting Boston Bruins.

Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward stopped 15 of 17 shots on goal. The Devils had a season-low 18 shots, including Palmieri's empty-netter.

Devils defenseman Andy Greene, who was skating in his 350th consecutive NHL game, was hit in the eye with a puck off the stick of Jordan Staal at 18:13 of the first period and did not return.

New Jersey got onto the board at 14:56 of the second, with Henrique beating Ward glove side from the right circle. Cammalleri had the primary assist for his 100th point as a Devil.

Cammalleri doubled the lead at 11:30 of the third, beating Ward over the right shoulder from the right circle with Henrique on the primary helper.

But Aho cut the advantage in half 46 seconds later, beating Schneider with Hainsey on the first assist. Aho has a four-game points streak while Teuvo Teravainen, who had the second assist, has points in five straight contests.

Palmeiri added an unassisted empty-net goal for New Jersey with two minutes to play.

The Hurricanes won 12 straight home games Feb. 20-April 7, 2009, the last time they made the playoffs. Carolina was 14-0-1 at home from Dec. 13, 2005 to Jan. 28, 2006 and went on to win that season's Stanley Cup.

Sabres 4, Rangers 1

Evander Kane and Justin Bailey scored 1:42 apart around the first intermission, leading Buffalo to a victory over New York.

Zemgus Girgensons and Jack Eichel also scored, and Anders Nilsson stopped 24 shots to help the Sabres win for just the second time in eight games (2-4-3). Sam Reinhart had two assists, extending his career-best points streak to seven games and giving him two goals and seven assists in that stretch.

Buffalo has beaten the Rangers in three straight meetings — including twice this season — after losing the previous nine.

Nick Holden scored and Henrik Lundqvist made 15 saves for the Rangers, who were trying for their first four-game winning streak since a five-game run Oct. 30 to Nov. 6. The Rangers have had four three-game winning streaks since.

After a slow first period, the Rangers stepped it up after falling behind 3-0 just over a minute into the second. New York had 11 of the next 12 shots, with Lundqvist making a nice stop on a wrist shot by Derek Grant with 5:18 left for the Sabres' lone shot during that stretch.

Holden got the Rangers on the scoreboard with 4:05 remaining in the middle period as he took a pass from J.T. Miller and fired a slap shot past Nilsson for his eighth of the season. It gave him five points in the last three games.

The Sabres restored their three-goal lead on the power play at 1:10 of the third. Reinhart sent a pass from the left faceoff dot to Eichel, who was streaking to the net. The puck deflected off Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi's stick to Eichel, who poked it in for his seventh.

New York didn't get its first shot of the third period until there was only 5:28 left.

The Sabres were the dominant team in the first period as New York didn't get its first shot on goal until Ryan McDonagh's wrister that was stopped by Nilsson at 9:54.

Buffalo got on the scoreboard with 7:43 left in the opening period. Brian Gionta sent a centering pass from the left corner that deflected off William Carrier's skate, and Girgensons skated in, pulled the puck to his backhand and sent it in from the right side for his fourth of the season.

The Rangers then had two nice chances just seven seconds apart, but Chris Kreider's attempt from in close was stopped by Nilsson with four minutes to go, and then Derek Stepan's shot was gloved by the goalie. They were the Rangers' second and third shots on goal of the period.

The Sabres stretched their lead to 2-0 in the final minute, taking advantage when the Rangers turned the puck over while making a line change. Lundqvist stopped Reinhart's attempt, but Kane was driving to the net and knocked in the rebound with just under 39 seconds remaining for his ninth.

Bailey made it 3-0 with his first NHL goal 1:03 into the second. Kane trailed Rangers defensemen Kevin Klein after a loose puck up the right side into New York's defensive zone, and Klein sent a pass to the left that Bailey grabbed. He moved to his right and sent it past Lundqvist while jumping in the air to avoid Klein, who went sliding by.
