Perron put the Red Wings ahead at 11:59 of the second period, sweeping a one-timer off Johnathan Kovacevic’ stick and past Allen from the high slot.

Bratt made it 2-2 at 15:16, putting a long wrist shot through traffic inside the post for his 21st goal.

Finnie gave the Red Wings a 3-2 lead at 7:00 of the third period, jamming the puck over the line in a goal-mouth scramble, but Glass put in a rebound to make it 3-3 at 11:18.

“I liked a lot about our game today,” Devils coach Sheldon Keefe said. “It took us a while to get going, but I thought we dominated the second period, and we had them on their heels in the third period.”

After Hughes and Bratt gave New Jersey the 4-3 lead, Dawson Mercer scored into the empty net at 19:00 for the 5-3 final.

“We knew we were going to keep the gas pedal down all night,” Bratt said. “We knew we could play well with our pace, and we got better as the game went along.”

NOTES: Larkin had two assists, giving him nine points (four goals, five assists) in a four-game point streak. … Hughes has 39 points (15 goals, 24 assists) in 23 games since scoring the golden goal for the United States in the final against Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
