NJ Cools a Hot Pittsburgh Team

3rd string goalie for the Devils Wedgewood was in net as Kinkaid got a night off and ended up stopping 38 other Penguins shots to earn his first NHL shutout and help the Devils to a 3-0 win. 

With Cory Schneider recovering from an MCL sprain, Wedgewood made his NHL debut in a 2-1 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets.  He has allowed one goal, to Blue Jackets forward Jared Boll, on 67 shots through two starts.

New Jersey has won five of its past seven games (5-2-0) since losing 6-1 to Pittsburgh on March 6.

Devils coach John Hynes said he has been pleased with how his team has responded to several recent injuries.
