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.

It was a rough game for the Devils, not able to get any shots in the net until the final period... making sure they didn't get shutout. However, it was a good win for the Hurricanes. After a 3-2 victory against the Boston Bruins the night before, they managed to get another win, two wins straight.

   Only 90 seconds into the first period, Sebastian Aho opens the scoring. Aho scored with a backhand shot past Nico Daws. The final score of the first frame was 1-0.


   Teuvo Teravainen nets one and makes the score 2-0... just 15 seconds in between, Jordan Staal scores by redirecting a shot from Brady Skjei. The Devils trail behind a 3-0 score...


   Scoring his first goal as a Devil, Justin Dowling scores with a beautiful pass by Alexander Holtz and gets the puck past Antti Raanta. A goal that was thought to be Jesper Bratt's turned out to be Tyler Toffoli's... Toffoli tipped in a shot by Bratt with just 2.3 seconds remaining in the final frame.



Notes:

- After the two goals in the second period by Carolina, Nico Daws was replaced by Vitek Vanecek for the remainder of the game.

- Devil's coach, Lindy Ruff, didn't return for the third period... He was held back after taking a puck to the face. Travis Green took his place.

- Travis Green said that Lindy Ruff was doing a bit better postgame

- Three Stars of the Game: Teuvo Teravainen, Antti Raanta, and Jordan Staal



Justin Dowling on contributing to helping the team: "It was huge for me. It's been over a year since I've been in the NHL. So, being able to come in and contribute, and do everything I can to help the team win was nice... It's just the hard work that you put into it. It's nice to get rewarded every once in a while."
