Hughes scored his second goal of the game and team-best eighth of the season to send New Jersey on its longest winning streak since early in the 2022-23 season.

Jack Hughes scores twice, including the OT winner, as the New Jersey Devils defeat the Colorado Avalanche 4–3 for their eighth straight victory in Newark.

The New Jersey Devils have won seven straight games. They own the best record in the NHL at 7-1-0, and no one has more than Jersey’s 14 points.

The Avs power play propelled Colorado to a much-needed 8-4 win over New Jersey that snapped a four-game losing streak (0-1-3).

Nico Daws made 29 saves, Paul Cotter, Brenden Dillon and rookie Arseny Gritsyuk scored and the New Jersey Devils beat the Minnesota Wild 4-1 on Wednesday night for their sixth straight victory.

Nico Hischier is tied for first on the Devils in assists (7) and third in points (9). Colorado’s 25 goals at five-on-five are the most in the NHL. The Avalanche’s 13 third-period goals are tied for the fourth most in the league.

Hughes’ second goal of the game came at 1:53 of overtime. Nathan MacKinnon lost the puck to Jesper Bratt in the New Jersey end. The Devils went the other way and Hughes created a chance with a slick move, but his shot went wide. When Cale Makar tried to get the puck out of danger, Martin Necas’ attempt to glove the puck out of the air misfired.

Mercer scored a goal in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Avalanche.

The Avalanche lost to the New Jersey Devils 4-3 in overtime at Prudential Center on Sunday. Valeri Nichushkin, Nathan MacKinnon and Brock Nelson each scored for Colorado while Trent Miner made 20 saves in his first start of the season.
