Point Earned, Streak Secured: Devils Outlast Penguins 2-1 in SO Thriller

  Photo: Andrew MacLean This thrilling Metropolitan Division clash was a goaltending masterclass from both ends of the ice.

The Devils' win was anchored by netminder Jake Allen, who stopped a stunning 33 of 34 shots through regulation and overtime. Across the ice, the resilient Penguins earned a crucial point, thanks to rookie Arturs Silovs—who turned away 23 of 24 shots while holding the Devils' potent offense in check, an impressive feat for an injury-riddled squad missing six key players.

- This being Erik Haula's first game back after missing three due to injury, he scored his 7th goal of the season

"It was pretty good the first two periods, then pretty ugly in the third," Jack Hughes said. "We found a way to win, so that's all that matters."


"It's a big win for our team, a resilient win," Luke Hughes said. "Obviously not the way we wanted to close it out, but it's a big two points for our team."




   Funny enough, I was reminded of that one Jack Hughes interview when he said, "It's so awesome, I didn't know there was a city in New Jersey," when I realized that Vancouver was in Canada all this time.
