NEWARK, N.J. | Everything is falling into place for the New Jersey Devils.

The team is winning despite injuries, the power play is warming up, Patrik Elias is back in the lineup and backup goalie Yann Danis is showing he can give Martin Brodeur a day off without causing problems.

Against his former Islanders teammates, Danis made 23 saves and stopped four in-close attempts by Mark Streit and rookie John Tavares in the third period. His play helped the Devils post their fourth straight win, a 2-1 decision over New York on Friday night.

“Everytime I get to play I want to get the win, but to win against those guys makes it a little more special,” Danis said.
