Ben Sexton scored with 4:14 remaining Saturday to lift the Albany Devils to a 3-1 victory over the Hartford Wolf Pack at the XL Center.

The victory was Albany’s fifth in its past seven games. The Devils have won three of their past four road games to improve their record away from home to 7-8-1.

Ken Appleby made 24 saves to improve to 7-4-0 on the season. Sexton’s goal, set up by Blake Pietila, was his seventh of the season. Pietila added an empty-net goal with 43 seconds remaining, his team-leading 12th.

Jan Mandat scored unassisted 32 seconds into the game, his fourth of the year, to give Albany an early lead. Nicklas Jensen tied the game on a power play midway through the second.
