From the desk: HOCKEY NIGHT IN NEW YORK STATE
BUFFALO - Devils center Nico Hischier scores his first goal since returning to action one week ago. After falling behind in the first period, Jesper Bratt ties the game at one at the 5:27 mark. But Dmitry Kulikov gets called for slashing and Casey Mittelstadt puts the Sabres back in front. The lead doesn't last long. Miles Wood opens the third period with a power-play goal at 4:25, and just over two minutes later Hischier finds the net giving Newark a 3-2 lead. However, Sam Reinhart's power-play goal at 15:30 sends the game into overtime. Buffalo then commits a cardinal sin of hockey: allowing a goal in the first or last two minutes of a period. At 1:17 of overtime, Pavel Zacha finds the back of the net ending the game.
The Devils level out at 3-3 since returning from COVID lockdown.
Miles Wood with his sixth goal earned his 9th point in 15 games.
