Timo Meier<\/a> pushed it to 4-2 when he spun in the right circle and swept in a rebound of Paul Cotter<\/a>‘s shot past Quick’s snow angel at 6:29 of the third period.<\/p>\n

Sheary pulled the Rangers within 4-3 at 9:41, putting the rebound of Matthew Robertson<\/a>‘s shot from inside the blue line past\u00a0Markstrom in front.<\/p>\n

Hughes scored on a wrist shot from the top of the left circle at 13:05 for a 5-3 lead before Bratt scored on a snap shot from the left circle at 16:22 for the 6-3 final.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I had so many looks tonight. … I had breakaways, 2-on-1’s, and that goal was more for me,” Hughes said. “I wanted that one. I wanted that for my team because I had so many good looks. The building was starting to rock when they scored that third goal and it’s a crazy crowd. But it was nice for us to turn around and kind of settle the game back down.”<\/p>\n

Hughes has 35 points (20 goals, 15 assists) in 25 career games against the Rangers. Bratt’s two points gives him 501 points (166 goals, 335 assists) in 620 NHL games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That’s good (for Bratt),” Keefe said. “It’s great to see him shooting pucks in the net. He’s been playing so well on that line (with Hughes and Brown). It’s was a good night.”<\/p>\n

NOTES: Hughes has 18 points (six goals, 12 assists) in his past 11 games and since returning from the 2026 Winter Olympics. … Hischier scored his 195th career goal to pass Zach Parise<\/a> (194) for the fifth most in Devils\/Colorado Rockies\/Kansas City Scouts history. … New Jersey is 5-0-1 in its past six regular season games against the Rangers. … Bratt is the fifth player to score 500 points for the Devils (Patrik Elias<\/a>, John MacLean<\/a>, Travis Zajac<\/a>, Kirk Muller<\/a>). … Rangers\u00a0defenseman Urho Vaakanainen<\/a> (upper body) didn’t return after the first period, and forward Noah Laba<\/a>\u00a0(lower body) didn’t return after the second period. Sullivan did not have an update on either after the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Timo Meier pushed it to 4-2 when he spun in the right circle and swept in a rebound…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":546253,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":["post-546252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=546252"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546252\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/546253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=546252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=546252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=546252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
