On the winner, Mueller and Kreider crisscrossed in the Devils zone before Kreider fed Klein for his first of the season.


Klein’s goal was also the first scored this season by a Rangers defenseman.


"He made a great pass to me, and I was fortunate to score the goal," Klein said."


Henrik Lundqvist stopped 28 shots for the Rangers (4-3).


"I like the way we’re playing," Lundqvist said. "We responded tonight in a big way."


The Devils (3-2-1) got power-play goals from Jaromir Jagr, Adam Henrique and Jon Merrill but it wasn’t enough to prevent a third straight defeat. Cory Schneider made 21 saves.


Kreider and Jagr traded power-play goals in the opening period.


New Jersey started strong and pressed the attack during an early power play. Henrique, Mike Cammalleri and Patrik Elias had good scoring chances denied by Lundqvist.


With Jagr in the penalty box for hooking, Kreider buried the rebound of Ryan McDonagh’s point shot at 7:34. It was the Rangers’ first power-play goal of the season, ending an 0-for-17 drought through the first six games.


Kreider was then whistled for hooking, setting the stage for Jagr’s goal at 13:40. Damien Brunner fired a shot that sailed wide right of the net, and bounced off the lively backboards right onto Jagr’s stick.
