EDMONTON - Rookie Arseny Gritsyuk and Cody Glass each had a goal and an assist as the New Jersey Devils held on to beat the Edmonton Oilers 2-1 on Tuesday.
The Devils (26-22-2) have won four of their last five outings, including a 2-1 overtime victory on Monday against the host Calgary Flames. New Jersey improved to 17-0-0 when leading after 40 minutes.
Matthew Savoie replied for the Oilers (25-18-8), who had a two-game winning streak halted — the ninth time this season they have failed to extend a winning streak to three games.
Jake Allen survived a barrage in the third and recorded 21 saves to earn the win in net for New Jersey, while Tristan Jarry made 15 stops in his Oilers’ home debut.
TAKEAWAYS
Devils: Defenceman Dougie Hamilton, who was a controversial healthy scratch against the Winnipeg Jets on Jan. 10, picked up an assist to extend his points streak to six games, during which he has collected seven points.
Oilers: Defensive forward Curtis Lazar skated in his 600th career NHL game against his former team the Devils, where he spent portions of three seasons from 2022-25. He has played for seven NHL squads and has recorded 50 goals and 80 assists.
KEY MOMENT
The Devils regained the lead a minute-and-a-half after Edmonton tied the game 1-1 as they caught the Oilers on a bad change and Glass beat Jarry cleanly to the stick side for his 11th goal of the season.
KEY STAT
Connor McDavid came into the game with at least one point in all 17 of his career games against the Devils (7G, 24A), which stood as the second-longest active point streak by a player against a single opponent. However, he was held pointless on the night and the streak came to an end.
UP NEXT
Devils: Visit the Vancouver Canucks on Friday.
Oilers: Host the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday.
