NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — John Gibson and Cam Talbot combined to make 31 saves, former Northern Michigan University skater Dominik Shine scored his first NHL goal and the Detroit Red Wings beat the New Jersey Devils 3-0 on Sunday night.

Opening a four-game trip, Detroit ended a two-game losing streak and stopped the Devils’ winning streak at four.

Gibson made 21 saves in first two periods, but was injured late in the second on a collision in the crease. Cam Talbot stopped 10 shots in the third. They became the first Detroit goalies to combine for a shutout since Jonas Gustavsson and Jimmy Howard in 2014.

Moritz Seider and James van Riemsdyk also scored, and each assisted on Shine’s third-period goal. Seider scored on a wrist shot at 3:20 of the first. Van Riemsdyk tipped in a shot from the point on a power play at 6:37 of second.

Shine broke through on a snap shot with 9:36 left. The 32-year-old forward was playing his fifth NHL game of the season and the 14th of his career. He first played in the NHL with the Red Wings in January 2025 and had one assist before this.

He played at NMU from 2013-17, serving as an alternate captain for two seasons and leading the Wildcats with 30 points as a senior. He finished with 97 points on 48 goals and 49 assists in 131 games.

Shine, a Pinckney native, had played with the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins since signing as an undrafted free agent in March 2017, taking nearly eight years before he made his NHL debut.

Defenseman Justin Faulk made his Red Wings debut after being acquired from St. Louis on Friday.

Jacob Markstrom made 27 saves for New Jersey in the fourth game of seven-game homestand. The Devils were coming off a 6-3 victory over the New York Rangers on Saturday. Jack Hughes had a hat trick in that game.
