The New Jersey Devils jumped out to an early lead with three first-period goals and held off a late push to defeat the Tampa Bay Lightning 5–3 on Saturday night at Benchmark International Arena.


Tampa Bay cut the deficit to one with two goals in the second period, but New Jersey responded with a pair in the third to regain control. The Lightning added one late, but the Devils’ balanced scoring and quick transition play proved decisive in the matchup.
