Devils Shut Out Oilers, Jake Allen Shines

Jake Allen delivered an impressive performance, making 31 saves to secure his second shutout of the season and the 26th of his NHL career, as the New Jersey Devils defeated the Edmonton Oilers 3-0. Jesper Bratt contributed significantly with a goal and an assist, while Stefan Noesen and Timo Meier also found the net for the Devils, who improved their season record to 8-5-2 after winning three of their last four games. Despite the Oilers' recent momentum and Leon Draisaitl's previous scoring streak, they failed to score, with backup goalie Calvin Pickard making 13 saves. The Oilers suffered a setback, snapping their two-game winning streak, and were without their captain, Connor McDavid, due to an ankle injury. The Devils took advantage of the Oilers' struggling penalty kill, scoring a power-play goal in the second period to widen their lead. New Jersey will now prepare to host Montreal, while Edmonton will face Vegas in their upcoming games.
