The New Jersey Devils just keep rolling — 8 straight wins now after a 4-3 OT victory against the Colorado Avalanche. Jack Hughes scored twice, including the overtime winner, while rookie defenseman Simon Nemec recorded three assists and Jake Allen made 21 saves.
Even after Brett Pesce left early with an upper-body injury, guys like Luke Hughes, Brendan Dillon, Jonas Siegenthaler, and Nemec all stepped up. The depth showed again — Arseny Gritsyuk and Connor Brown both found the net — and the Devils played a complete, structured game under Sheldon Keefe.
This win extends New Jersey’s streak to eight — their best start since the 13-game run in 2022 — and sets them up perfectly heading into their West Coast road trip.
