Keith Kinkaid stops Evgeny Kuznetsov from scoring in the shootout in the Devils' 2-1 victory over the Capitals on Thursday night in Washington.

WASHINGTON — Keith Kinkaid made 43 saves and stopped two attempts in the shootout, helping the Devils beat the Capitals 2-1 on Thursday night.

New Jersey’s backup goaltender was the best player on the ice for the entire game and cracked only on a short-handed goal by Daniel Winnik. Jacob Josefson returned from a five-game absence caused by a concussion to score the shootout winner.

P.A. Parenteau scored in the second period as the Devils snapped a seven-game skid against the Capitals.
