NEWARK, N.J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again. He even got an assist, too. "I think thats been the case for a number of years, even before I played for Pittsburgh," Penguins centre Sidney Crosby said. "They play a good team defence and with Marty Brodeur and (Cory) Schneider there, they have two pretty good goalies. You have to make sure you put your chances away." Brodeur came up big early and then held on to improve his record to 48-28-5 against Pittsburgh in his career. The Devils stand 13-3 vs. the Penguins at the Prudential Center since it opened in 2008. Adam Henrique scored 1:38 into the game and Michael Ryder connected 2:45 into the second, sparking the Devils to a 2-1 victory on Tuesday. Brodeur was credited with his 44th career assist on Ryders goal. Brodeur had an assist in the game for the Devils (17-16-1) and made 19 saves in gaining his second win of the season against Pittsburgh. Marc-Andre Fleury had 28 saves for the Penguins (29-12-1). "Especially in this building, weve been playing them well," said Brodeur, who improved his season record to 12-8-3. "Were trying to play well against good teams. We want to play well against everybody, but we have that little fear of the Penguins because we know how damaging they can be. So it brings out the best in us." Henrique scored his ninth goal with a nifty finish of a pass from Ryan Clowe. Henrique made a quick move into the clear in front of the net and then lifted a shot over the left shoulder of Penguins goalie Fleury. Ryder was credited with an assist on the goal. A few minutes later, the Devils lost veteran winger Patrik Elias after he was knocked to the ice by Pittsburghs Tanner Glass. Elias was face down on the ice and didnt move until medical personnel reached him. He got up slowly to his knees and then managed to skate off. He did not return. "It wasnt precautionary," Devils coach Pete DeBoer said about his decision to hold Elias out. "I dont think there was an option. I talked to him between periods and he explained the play and told me it was awkward. But I dont know anything yet." Brodeur earned his 44th career assist when he started the play that led to Ryders 1th goal of the season at 2:45 of the second. Brodeur cleared the puck to Ryder, who skated past the blue line and into the middle before losing the puck. But Henrique quickly regained possession and sent it back into the middle, where Ryder fired his shot past Fleury. Matt Niskanen cut it to 2-1 for Pittsburgh at 6:58 of the second from the right circle off a Crosby feed that beat Brodeur to his glove side. Sidney Crosby picked up his 23rd assist of the season on the goal and teammate Chris Kunitz registered his 22nd assist on the play. The opening minutes of the game were frenetic for Brodeur. Kunitz blasted a slap shot that bounced off the right shoulder of Brodeur. Seconds later, Kunitz missed a chance at an open net with Brodeur down on far side of the goal. "I wish that one would have gone in, too," Kunitz said. "He made a nice save, got his shoulder on that one. Hes a good goaltender. He knows how the play the angles, thats for sure." NOTES: Sidney Crosby had an assist in the second period to give him nine goals and 23 points for the month of December and has now produced a point in 13 of the last 14 games for Pittsburgh. .

A 3-1 loss to Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday ended PSGs 23-game unbeaten run in all competitions. PSG sits one point behind leader Marseille, which travels to Monaco.Here are some things to know ahead of this weekends games:___SECOND BESTA year ago, PSG led the French league and won its Champions League group. The narrative is different this season as PSG is second in the French league and finished second in Group F behind Barcelona.We created chances but our finishing was not clinical, PSG coach Laurent Blanc said. And I think we could have defended better on a couple of scoring chances for Barcelona.Blanc is facing more pressure since the Parisian club is no longer producing the entertaining style of football it displayed last season.___RIDING THE MOMENTUMMonaco also advanced to the knockout phase of the Champions League and finished top of Group C by downing Zenit St. Petersburg 2-0 on Tuesday. Monaco hopes to carry that momentum into its French league campaign.That has boosted our confidence, Monaco forward Anthony Martial said. I hope well play some nice football (against Marseille).Monaco is playing catch-up because of a mediocre start to the season. It sits in seventh place, 12 points behind Marseille. Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov will likely miss the match after picking up a muscle injury to his right side against Zenit.___COOL-HEADED MARSEILLEMarseille has been holding the top spot since September. Hoowever, Ghana winger Andre Ayew refused to get carried away by the idea of reaching the winter break with the lead.ddddddddddddFinishing first at the halfway stage does not mean that you are the French league champion, Ayew said. What matters is what will happen at the end of the season. We are not going to think about it now.Marseille has the most prolific attack in the league with 36 goals scored. It last won the league title in 2010.___CARRYING LYONLyon has climbed to third place despite a squad hit by injuries. France international Alexandre Lacazette has kept his club afloat by scoring a league-leading 13 goals and making 4 assists.Its true that theres a certain dependence (on him), Lyon coach Hubert Fournier said. But its the same in a lot of clubs. Real Madrid depends on Cristiano Ronaldo. Alex is not Cristiano Ronaldo, but hes a very important player for us.Lyon hosts struggling Caen on Friday.___THE CORSICAN CURSENot only has Bastia lost its last three matches to drop to last place, the club keeps making headlines for the wrong reasons as well. Club president Pierre-Marie Geronimi was handed preliminary charges on Wednesday for misuse of funds not directly related to the clubs finances.We know were in a tough spot, Bastia coach Ghislain Printant said ahead of its game against Rennes on Saturday. The lads are not giving up.Two weeks ago, Bastia striker Brandao was handed a one-month jail sentence for headbutting midfielder Thiago Motta after a 2-0 loss to PSG in August.In early November, the Corsican club fired coach Claude Makelele following a string of poor results.
