Hughes finished with two goals and an assist, his quickfire double turning the game to give New Jersey a 3-1 lead, while Hellebuyck made 18 saves for his third straight win in his first start at Prudential Center as a Devil. Edmonton fought back through Leon Draisaitl, who tied the game 3-3 on a five-on-three power play early in the third period, but the Devils prevailed in the shootout, with Jesper Bratt and Arseny Gritsyuk scoring before Gritsyuk sealed it in the fourth round. Connor McDavid added an assist to extend his season-opening point streak to 16 games and now leads the NHL with 31 assists, while Ryan Nugent-Hopkins marked becoming Edmonton's all-time games leader, with 1,038 appearances, with a goal and an assist. The defeat ends Edmonton's seven-game road winning streak to start the season, though the Oilers still took five of six points from their New York trip and sit at 11-2-3. New Jersey improved to 10-5-0.
