NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- Mike Cammalleri scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period and the New Jersey Devils extended their best run of the season with a 2-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night.

Cory Schneider made 19 saves and Adam Henrique had the other goal for the Devils, who won for the seventh time in 11 games (7-2-2).

Curtis Lazar scored for the Senators and Robin Lehner made 17 saves in his third straight start for injured Craig Anderson.

Jaromir Jagr did most of the work on Cammalleri's team-high 17th goal of the season and seventh game-winner. The big right wing won the puck in the right corner, made a turn into the right circle and found Cammalleri between the circles for a shot over Lehner's shoulder.
