Brian Dumoulin scored his first goal with the New Jersey Devils, securing a 5-4 victory against the Boston Bruins with a goal 90 seconds into overtime. This was Dumoulin's first career overtime winner, ending the Devils' three-game losing streak and clinching the Subway Canada OT winner. The game concluded the Bruins' season, marking their first non-playoff year since 2016. David Pastrnak contributed a goal and an assist for Boston, finishing the season with 106 points, his third consecutive 100-point season. Jeremy Swayman made 21 saves for the Bruins, who finished with the worst record in the Atlantic Division. The Bruins now look ahead to the draft lottery, where they could finish anywhere between fourth and eighth from the bottom of the NHL standings. For the Devils, Timo Meier had a goal and two assists, while Dawson Mercer also scored and assisted. Jake Allen stopped 20 shots in goal for New Jersey, who had already clinched a playoff spot against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Devils will next face the Detroit Red Wings at home to finish the regular season. The Bruins were 25-30-7 under interim coach Joe Sacco, who took over after Jim Montgomery was fired on November 19.
