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 New Jersey Devils ultimately prevailed in the shootout, defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 to secure their second consecutive victory and extend their perfect season-opening home winning streak to seven games. 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.

   David Pastrnak gave Boston the lead 44 seconds into the first period. Jakub Lauko made the score 2-0 with his first goal of the season in 32 games. Miles Wood scored the first goal for the Avalanche, getting them on the board with his 8th goal of the season. Jake DeBrusk pushed it 3-1, and the goal was challenged for offsides - it ended up being a good goal. The final score of the first period was 3-1.


   Nathan MacKinnon cuts it 3-2 with his 24th of the season with 3:40 remaining in the middle frame. MacKinnon extended his point streak to 10 games.

   David Pastrnak nets another and makes it a 4-2 score on the power play. Pastrnak completed a hat trick with only seconds left to play in the third period - this marking his 16th career regular-season hat trick.

   Jeremy Swayman made 32 saves during this game.


David Pastrnak spoke with the media after the Boston Bruins 5-2 win against Colorado: "We play with the lead a lot - they're going to have their push... I think earlier in the season we weren't prepared for it, now we got through some times that teams came back on us and made us stronger, so good for us."
