NEWARK, N.J. (AP) --- Nico Hischier scored his second goal of the game on a
breakaway at 3:42 of overtime to give the New Jersey Devils a 3-2 victory over

Hischier took a pass from Jack Hughes and broke in on goalie Philipp Grubauer.
As Seattle's Matty Beniers caught up, Hischier turned to to his backhand to
shield Beniers and put a shot past Grubauer. The New Jersey captain leads the
team with 15 goals.

Devils built on a 5-2 victory Monday night in Minnesota that ended a four-game

a shot from the top of the right circle to the far side.

then scored off a rebound of Dougie Hamilton's shot. Larson tied it at 8:55 of
the period, stepping up between he circles for a shot to the far side.
