Jake Allen secured his first shutout with the New Jersey Devils in a 3-0 victory over the Utah Hockey Club, making 20 saves and marking his 25th career shutout. Rookie defenseman Seamus Casey broke the scoreless tie with a power-play goal early in the second period, contributing to the Devils' win alongside goals from Stefan Noesen and Nico Hischier. The Devils, who missed the playoffs last year, have now won four of their last five games, marking their first home victory of the season after previously losing to Toronto. Utah, formerly the Coyotes, suffered their first loss in four games this season, failing to capitalize on four power-play opportunities. Utah's Karel Vejmelka made 30 saves in his first start of the season.
