CHICAGO -- Marian Hossa may be playing like the most experienced member of Chicago Blackhawks, but he doesnt show signs of being one of the teams oldest players.The 37-year-old forward is as crafty as ever and seems to have plenty of gas left in the tank -- even when Chicago rolls beyond regulation time.Hossa scored his team-leading 12th goal through a screen at 1:31 of overtime to lift the Blackhawks to a 4-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night.Hossas shot through traffic from high in the slot beat Cory Schneider on the glove side, moments after New Jerseys Mike Cammalleri hit the post on a prime chance against Chicagos Corey Crawford.(Patrick Kane) took the puck, just gave it to me and I tried to hold it and maybe see my options, said Hossa, who will turn 38 on Jan. 12.

It wasnt a hard shot but I just tried to shoot it at the net.It worked, and the Western Conference-leading Blackhawks won their second straight as they played beyond regulation for the third consecutive time.

We have to clean up some penalties but I think if we have the competition level, the passion we played . we have something to really build on.Zajac completed his second career hat trick from the low edge of the left circle after taking a slick cross-ice pass from Cammalleri. He fired into a wide open net before Crawford could react.Zajac, who had a two-goal game on Oct. 25 against Arizona, has eight goals this season.It feels good, Zajac said, but youd trade it for a win, especially a road win, because weve had difficulty getting those.The Devils are 3-7-4 on the road, but 7-0-2 at the Prudential Center.Crawford finished with 30 saves, Schneider made 29.New Jersey forward Taylor Hall returned to the Devils lineup after missing eight games with a torn meniscus in his left knee.Hall had knee surgery on Nov. 16.
