Devils Halt Panthers' Streak; Boqvist Brothers Unite

The New Jersey Devils ended the Florida Panthers' seven-game winning streak with a 4-1 victory, bolstered by Jack Hughes' continued scoring prowess and Timo Meier's go-ahead goal late in the second period. Jacob Markstrom made 33 saves, marking his 498th career game, while the Devils improved their record to 9-0-0 when leading after two periods this season. The Panthers, despite Sam Reinhart scoring his 12th goal of the season, struggled without Sam Bennett, who was a late scratch due to injury. Jesper Boqvist, a former Devil, now plays for the Panthers alongside his brother, marking a notable family collaboration in the league. This matchup marked the beginning of a challenging 10-game stretch for the Panthers. The teams will face off again on Thursday in Sunrise, Florida.
