The New Jersey Devils had a strong performance against the Florida Panthers, winning 6-2 in their recent game. Jesper Bratt stood out with his second career hat trick, while Stefan Noesen also contributed with two goals. Jack Hughes added a goal and two assists to help secure the victory for the Devils.
This win marks a sweep of the two-game series with the Stanley Cup champions, as the Devils also defeated the Panthers 4-1 earlier in the week. The team has been on a hot streak, with a record of 7-2-0 in their last nine games. Goalie Jake Allen made 25 saves to help secure the win for New Jersey.
On the other side, the Panthers had Sam Reinhart and Jesper Boqvist scoring their two goals of the night. This loss comes after the Panthers had not dropped two straight games since earlier in the season.
One key moment in the game was when the Panthers, trailing 4-2, started the third period on a power play but quickly had it nullified by a tripping penalty. This was one of the many calls that Florida was not happy about during the game.
The Devils showcased their power-play prowess, scoring three power-play goals in the game. This season, they have already had two games with three power-play goals, showcasing their strength in that area.
Looking ahead, the Devils will face off against the Tampa Bay Lightning next, aiming to continue their success in Florida. The Panthers, on the other hand, will host the NHL-leading Winnipeg Jets in their upcoming game.
Overall, it was a strong performance from the Devils, with key players stepping up to secure the win against the Panthers. The team will look to carry this momentum forward in their upcoming games and continue their winning streak.
