NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Simon Nemec scored on a wrist shot at 2:58 of overtime to give the New Jersey Devils a 3-2 win over the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday night.
New Jersey (15-7-1) has won a franchise-record nine of its first 10 home games.
Nico Hischier assisted on Nemec’s winner and finished with a goal and two assists. Hischier has nine points (five goals, four assists) in his last five games. Timo Meier added a goal and an assist for New Jersey, extending his goal-scoring streak to three games.
Can Fowler had a goal and an assist, and Robert Thomas scored on the power play for St. Louis (7-11-6).
Jacob Markstrom stopped 21 shots for the Devils. Jordan Binnigton had 26 saves for the Blues.
With the game tied at 2, New Jersey killed a four-minute penalty early in the third period, limiting the Blues to just four shots on goal. Ondrej Palat was called for high sticking Logan Mailloux.
Hischier tied the score at 2-all with a power-play goal, with assists from Meier and Luke Hughes, in the second period.
Thomas scored on a power play, his 12th point in the last 15 games, to give the Blues a 2-1 lead at 14:37 of the second.
Fowler gave the Blues an early 1-0 lead with his first goal of the season at 2:16 of the first. Meier tied it, with an assist from Hischier, at 11:02.
