Nico Daws stopped 25 shots in overtime and regulation then turned away five of the seven Penguins he faced in the shootout as the Devils won for the sixth straight time in Pittsburgh. Jesper Bratt assisted on both of Hughes' goals to boost his season total to 45 as the Devils bounced back from a loss to lowly Buffalo by ending Pittsburgh's modest two-game winning streak.
Rickard Rakell scored his 24th of the season for Pittsburgh and Kevin Hayes tied it with to go in regulation. Nedeljkovic finished with 19 saves for the Penguins, including a pair of late stops against Hughes in overtime to send it to the shootout. The Devils played most of the game without defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler, who appeared to sustain a lower-body injury in the first period when his legs gave out as he skated along the boards.
Devils : Hughes and Bratt are one of the better punches in the league and their playmaking helps New Jersey take advantage of its chances. Penguins : Pittsburgh picked up a point for a third straight game and are showing some fight after trading defenseman Marcus Pettersson and forward Drew O'Connor to Vancouver. Hamilton beat Nedeljkovic in the fourth round of the shootout to extend the game with a pretty shot between the goaltender's legs.
