Kinkaid's shutout was the sixth of his NHL career and second in three games. He made 21 saves in a 6-0 win against the Washington Capitals on Oct. 11. He is 4-0-0 with a 1.00 goals-against average and .961 save percentage.

Coleman and Dea scored in the second period to give the Devils a 3-0 lead. Coleman scored his first of the season off a snap shot from the right face-off circle at 2:03 for a 2-0 lead.
Dea's goal was scored unassisted at 16:19 when his wrist shot from the left face-off circle beat Khudobin, who was without his stick. Khudobin, who had his stick snap after a save against Devils forward Miles Wood on a wraparound at 15:03, could not get the attention of his bench to bring a new stick before Dea stole the puck in the Stars end.
"That's not good body language by me; that's frustration," Khudobin said. "That's a bad habit. Other than that, I was just asking for the stick because the rules are they can bring me the stick. With stick or without stick, I have to be prepared to stop the puck."
Dea, claimed off waivers from the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sept. 28, has scored three goals in his past three games.
"It's nice to get picked up by a team that likes what you bring," Dea said. "Coach John Hynes likes a guy who can bring energy and can skate. I'm working hard and enjoying every moment. I think when you do that, good things will happen. I've been working my whole life to be where I am today, so I'm grateful to be here and have a chance to play in the NHL."
