Devils' Overtime Heroics, Hughes Milestone

For the NHL, it's March 17th, and here's what's going on.

The New Jersey Devils pulled off a thrilling 4-3 overtime win against the Boston Bruins on Monday

March 16th. It was their second match of the season, after Boston took the first one,

4-1 back in December. The game was tight, with the Bruins leading early,

but the Devils rallied to tie it late and snagged the victory in extra time.

Paul Kotter stepped up big as the overtime hero, scoring the game winner on a breakaway for

his first such goal in his career. It was his second tally of the night, marking his seventh

and eighth goals this season, and his first multi-goal game. Kotter has been a reliable bottom-six

forward, chipping in 13 points mostly from scoring. Jack Hughes made history too. Hitting 400 points

with the Devils in just 414 games, the fastest ever. He added assists for his 50th and 51st points of

the season, his fifth straight year reaching at least 50. Hughes has balanced back strong after

missing 21 games from injuries. The Devils shown on special teams in the third period,

killing off four Bruins power plays, including a 5-on-3. Their penalty kill sits at 79.8%

league-wide, helping force overtime and grab those two points even if playoffs are out of.
