Nico Hischier had a goal and an assist, and the Devils beat the Canadiens on Saturday night.
Nathan Bastian and Tomas Tatar also scored to help the Devils get their sixth win in eight games and move two points behind Carolina for first place in the Metropolitan Division. The Hurricanes lost 4-0 to Vegas. Akira Schmid had 23 saves.
"We improved in the second period on that side, playing behind them a little more. This is a good team, credit to them. They are really fast, they don't give a lot of space but I think we've managed that well." The Canadiens got on the scoreboard with 1:37 left in the second as Rem Pitlick stole the puck away from Devils defenseman Damon Severson behind the goal line and sent a pass in front for Gurianov, who quickly beat Schmid for his fourth.
