Mike Cammalleri had four points in his return to the lineup and Jacob Josefson scored in the shootout as the Devils beat the Maple Leafs 5-4 on Wednesday night at Prudential Center.
Cory Schneider stopped all three Toronto attempts in the tiebreaker, and the Devils overcame an early 3-0 deficit to snap a three-game losing streak, their longest of the season.
Cammalleri had a goal and three assists after missing six games. He spent more than a week with his family after his 5-year-old daughter was hospitalized with pneumonia.
Travis Zajac, Beau Bennett and Yohann Auvitu also scored for the Devils.
