New Jersey Devils Defeat Chicago Blackhawks 4-1

The New Jersey Devils rallied from a 1-0 deficit to defeat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1, driven by a strong third period where they scored four goals in just over two minutes. Jack Hughes, Dawson Mercer, and Timo Meier each contributed significantly, with Mercer tying the game early in the third and Hughes netting the game-winner. Chicago's Jason Dickinson scored the only goal for the Blackhawks, which was a fluky one off a rebound. New Jersey's defense has been notable, limiting opponents to under 20 shots in their recent homestand. Goaltender Jacob Markstrom made 17 saves to secure the win, while rookie Drew Commesso had 20 saves in his first NHL start for Chicago. This victory marks the Devils' seventh win in their last eleven games, as the Blackhawks continue to struggle, losing for the seventh time in eight games.
