Zajac gathered the puck at the right point, skated into the zone, and sent a cross-ice pass to Elias, who came down the middle for a redirection through Clemmensen's pads at 1:24.
The Kings' Justin Williams, who rang a shot off the post in the game's opening moments, tied it early in the second period, weaving his way from the mid-ice right-wing boards into the Devils' zone and beating Brodeur from the slot for his fourth goal of this postseason.
