Overview
- Shea Theodore opened the scoring late in the first before Tomas Hertl and Ivan Barbashev added third-period power-play goals, with Jack Eichel assisting twice.
- Akira Schmid stopped 24 shots for his third career shutout — his second this season — in his first start against New Jersey since last summer's trade.
- New Jersey went 0-for-2 on the power play with just one shot and has gone scoreless across its last six periods during a four-game skid.
- Each side had a first-period goal overturned — the Devils for offside and Vegas for a high stick — before Theodore’s tally stood as the winner.
- Vegas began a five-game East Coast trip with Carter Hart listed day-to-day and AHL call-up Jesper Vikman backing up, while Jacob Markström made 24 saves in defeat.
