New Jersey Devils center Jack Hughes scored two goals in the second period to lead his team to a victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night at the Prudential Center in Newark.
The win marked goaltender Connor Hellebuyck's first home start for the Devils since joining the club. Hellebuyck turned aside several Oilers chances, including a first-period opportunity by right wing Vasily Podkolzin.
Edmonton captain Connor McDavid carried the puck past Devils right wing Timo Meier early in the game, but New Jersey's defense held firm. Hughes' first goal came past Oilers goaltender Tristan Jarry, with defenseman Dougie Hamilton providing the assist. His second goal saw him crash the net as the Devils extended their lead.
The Associated Press reported the game took place on November 3, 2026, with Stephen Whyno filing the story.
