GLENDALE, Ariz. - Daniel Winnik scored with 8:08 remaining to help the Phoenix Coyotes beat the New Jersey Devils 4-3 on Thursday night.

Winnik redirected Vernon Fiddler's pass past Martin Brodeur to make it 3-2 moments before he was cut by Devils defenceman Mark Fraser's high stick.

Zbynek Michalek scored 1:16 into the ensuing power play on a blast from the point with help from Taylor Pyatt's screen to give Phoenix a two-goal lead.

Brian Rolston spinning shot from the blue line eluded Ilya Bryzgalov with 4:44 to go for his second goal of the night to pull the Devils to 4-3.

Matthew Lombardi and Peter Mueller also scored for the Coyotes, who snapped a four-game home losing streak. Phoenix won for the second time in its past seven games (2-3-2) despite being outshot 34-19, including 15-1 in the second period.

Travis Zajac also scored for the Devils, who lost for only the sixth time since Nov. 21 (18-6-0).

Lombardi gave the Coyotes a 1-0 lead when he redirected Keith Yandle's pass from the top of the right faceoff circle between Brodeur's pads at 13:16 of the first.

Mueller stole the puck off the stick of Devils defencemen Colin White just inside the Phoenix zone and outraced the defence down the ice before beating Brodeur with a wrist shot to make it 2-0 with 30.4 seconds to go in the first.

Rolston took a long outlet pas from Rod Pelley at the Coyotes' blue line, skated in and beat Bryzgalov with a wrist shot over the goalie's blocker to cut the lead to 2-1 at 9:21 of the second period.

Zajac tied it at 14:06 on a sharp shot from the high slot after Zach Parise broke up a clearing attempt at the top of the right faceoff circle.
