TORONTO (AP) -- Martin Brodeur made 25 saves for his league-leading ninth shutout of the season, and Brian Gionta scored in the first period in the New Jersey Devils' 1-0 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.
The win was the defending Stanley Cup champion Devils' first in regulation since they beat Pittsburgh 2-0 on Dec. 27 -- a span of seven games.
Toronto captain Mats Sundin and goalie Ed Belfour returned to the lineup, but the Maple Leafs lost their second straight. Sundin was suspended for throwing his broken stick into the stands. Belfour, who made 32 saves, missed three games with a strained groin.

Brodeur made several impressive saves throughout, including a sprawling stop on Sundin in the second period. He leads active goalies with 73 career shutouts, 30 short of Terry Sawchuk's NHL record.
New Jersey scored the only goal of the game with 57 seconds left in the first. Jay Pandolfo made a drop pass to Scott Niedermayer, who took a backhander, and Gionta got the rebound and scored.
Toronto's Mikael Renberg missed a chance from in front of the net when his shot went over the net in the second.
Brodeur made a nice pad save on Gary Roberts in the final two minutes. The Maple Leafs pulled Belfour and put an extra attacker on with a minute left, but they managed just one shot.
Notes: The Maple Leafs are 2-4-2 since their 16-game point streak ended. ... New Jersey's Scott Stevens missed the game with the flu. ... George Hainsworth has the record for shutouts in a season. Hainsworth had 22 in the 44-game season of 1928-29. The post-expansion record is 15 set by Tony Esposito in 1969-70. ... The game had just five penalties, including a fight between Toronto's Nathon Perrott and New Jersey's Rob Skrlac in the first. ... Toronto's Owen Nolan, Alexander Mogilny, Tomas Kaberle, Robert Reichel and Wade Belak were sidelined with injuries.
