Gallery: Flyers 4, Bruins 3Zubrus' first goal this season made a winner of Martin Brodeur, who had never beaten Rangers counterpart Henrik Lundqvist in regulation on the road in the regular season. Brodeur had 29 saves to push the Devils to 4-0 away from home.
Ryan Callahan had a breakaway chance with 2 minutes left thwarted from behind by diving Devils defenseman Colin White.
Brodeur, the NHL's winningest goalie with 562 victories, had an anxious moment shortly before Zubrus snapped the 2-2 tie. Marian Gaborik stole the puck from Brodeur behind the net, but couldn't get it to a teammate for a shot at the vacated net.
Parise and Nicklas Bergfors gave the Devils a 2-0 lead in the first, but Gaborik and Ales Kotalik answered in the second for New York (7-3), which has lost two straight following a seven-game winning streak. Lundqvist made 21 saves.
Parise added an empty-net goal with 40.2 seconds left.
The Rangers gave up seven of the final eight goals in a 7-3 home loss to San Jose on Monday and quickly fell into another hole against New Jersey. They broke out of their doldrums in the second period with the two that got them even.
