New Jersey Devils center Jack Hughes scored two goals in the second period to lead his team to a victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night at the Prudential Center in Newark. The win marked goaltender Connor Hellebuyck's first home start for the Devils.
Hughes' first goal came early in the second period, and he added another later in the frame, crashing the net past Oilers goaltender Tristan Jarry. Defenseman Dougie Hamilton assisted on one of the goals.
Edmonton captain Connor McDavid was held off the scoresheet, while Oilers right wing Vasily Podkolzin tested Hellebuyck in the first period. The Devils' goaltender made several key saves in his home debut.
The Associated Press reported the game took place on November 3, 2026.
