Kyle Palmieri scored two goals for the third straight game and the Devils rallied from their first deficits of the season to beat the Sharks 3-2 on Sunday in Newark, N.J.

Jean-Sebastien Dea capped the two-goal, third-period outburst with the game winner at 3:25 and Keith Kinkaid made 37 saves as the Devils started the season with three straight wins for the second straight year.

Joe Pavelski and Timo Meier scored for the Sharks.

Palmieri, who had 24 goals last season, scored his second goal of the game on a rebound in the crease 37 seconds into the third period to tie the game.

After Kinkaid made a save in close minutes later, Dea stuffed a loose puck into the net after Martin Jones let a shot by former Sharks defenseman Mirco Mueller slip between his pads.
