In a thrilling NHL matchup, the New Jersey Devils rallied to defeat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2, marking their third consecutive victory. Jesper Bratt played a pivotal role in the comeback, scoring a goal and adding two assists for his second straight three-point game. Bratt is now three assists away from tying Scott Stevens' record for most assists in a single season with the Devils. The game saw Leon Draisaitl of the Oilers extend his point streak to a career-high 16 games, tying the game at 1-1 with his league-leading 47th goal and 98th point of the season.

Nemec's confidence was evident as he expressed the significance of the moment after the game. Brett Pesce also contributed to the Devils' victory, scoring a goal to give them an early lead. The win was secured by goaltender Jake Allen, who made 31 saves, including 18 in the crucial third period.
