Devils Edge Red Wings 5-4 with Dominant Power Play Performance

New Jersey capitalizes on Detroit's struggling penalty kill to secure a narrow victory in Detroit.

The New Jersey Devils scored three power-play goals, exploiting the Detroit Red Wings' league-worst penalty kill, which has a 60% success rate this season.
Jack Hughes, Dougie Hamilton, and Timo Meier each scored on the power play, with Hughes netting the decisive goal early in the third period.
Detroit's Vladimir Tarasenko ended a 16-game goal drought, while Lucas Raymond extended his goal streak to five consecutive games, tying a franchise record set in 2008.
Cam Talbot marked his 500th NHL game with 25 saves for the Red Wings, though a failed goalie interference challenge led to a critical Devils power-play goal.
The Devils have now won four of their last five games, improving to 5-1 in their last six road matchups, while Detroit falls to 10-11-2 on the season.
