PHILADELPHIA – The New Jersey Devils managed a 2-1 victory in overtime against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday afternoon.

Adam Henrique scored a power-play goal for the Devils at 2:58 of overtime.

The Flyers lost defenseman Michael Del Zotto to an upper-body injury that general manager Ron Hextall said after the game would keep him out for weeks.

The Flyers are expected to make a recall from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the American Hockey League prior to their game on Sunday at the New York Rangers.

As of now, Del Zotto is out indefinitely.

Cory Schneider made 31 saves for the New Jersey, while Michal Neuvirth made 22 saves for Philadelphia in his first start since January 27.

The Flyers outshot the Devils 30-16 during regulation time.
