The Devils scored four goals for the first time since Feb. 19, but even that wasn't enough to end the losing streak.
The Devils fell behind by four goals and couldn't fully complete a comeback attempt in a 5-4 loss to the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
Taylor Hall had the chance to tie the game with 2:38 left in regulation after earning a penalty shot off a hook while rushing the net. But Coyotes goalie Mike Smith denied Hall's five-hole shot to preserve the lead.
