Hockey Devils Fall 4-3 To Leafs In OT Thriller by Joel Rodriguez January 17, 2025 After their Thursday night OT loss to Toronto, Jesper Bratt, and the Devils stand 26-15-6 on the season with 58 points, which is good for second in the Metropolitan Division and third in the Eastern Conference – Image Credit: NHL In a thrilling contest at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena last night, the New Jersey Devils narrowly fell to the Maple Leafs, 4-3, in overtime. Despite the loss, the Devils showcased resilience and skill throughout the game, indicating their strong form this season. The Devils took an early lead, with captain Nico Hischier netting two goals, demonstrating his offensive prowess. Jack Hughes also contributed significantly, adding a goal and two assists to bolster New Jersey’s attack. However, the Maple Leafs, determined to break their three-game losing streak, continually responded. Auston Matthews scored twice, including a crucial game-tying goal late in the third period, while William Nylander sealed the victory with his second goal with 1:10 on the clock in overtime. This matchup was particularly noteworthy as it marked Sheldon Keefe’s first return to Toronto as the Devils’ head coach. Keefe, who previously led the Maple Leafs, faced his former team in a game that highlighted the competitive spirit of both squads. Looking ahead, the Devils aim to rebound during their upcoming homestand at the Prudential Center. They are set to face the Philadelphia Flyers this Saturday, January 18th, followed by a matchup against the Ottawa Senators on Sunday, January 19th. These games present an opportunity for the Devils to capitalize on home ice advantage and continue their pursuit of a successful season.
