NHL Highlights | Devils vs. Lightning | November 18, 2025

Absolutely. The faceoff sponsored by Rooms to Go. Lots of lineup juggling here. Lots of extra bodies out in the pregame skates. Yeah, no kidding. I thought it was a football team out there for the New Jersey Devils. They must had 26 good young talent even though Jack Hughes is not in the lineup for the next several weeks. Lightning D are going to have to be ready. Kudra with a long shot. It is handled by Marstrom, but he will hold on for the first faceoff. Points cornered there. So he works it down the left wing boards and cuts back again on Connor Brown. Long shot. Hardstrom dives on the loose puck right in front of the Devils net. Here’s Jesper Pratt. Pratt drops this one on to Gritsu. Gritsu with a shot and a save made by Baselki. Rebound in the corner and controlled now by the Lightning. Porche comes from Mercer. Mercer puts it back to the line. Waiting for it is Dennis Chilowski. Siloski with a long shot that finds its way through. Has no idea. That was a heck of a start for the Devils. That was their first win and they went on to win seven more consecutively. Gave that great start. Yeah, they had a great start with an eightgame winning streak. You’re right. This one’s poke back to Santini. Santini who’s played now his second game as a member of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Kipped in by Lamo. Santini puts it up the boards. It’s knocked down by New Jersey. Send back to Dylan. Loads. Fires and Bassel’s going to save. Loose Park. He jumps on that one. That one will hang on. Kra picks his way back inside the line. Good pass. Good shot up high and it missed over the crossbar off the stick there of Cerelli and goes up and out of play. Gets it deep. Clinting swings it around. Hands up back of the bull net. Center of the 10. Big save by Vaselpski right in front on Connor to introduce a man who embodies the spirit of giving back. For families facing financial hardship, timely access to resources can make a huge difference. And Dayar Live delivers just that kind of lifeline. It’s an organization providing a variety of services essential. Here’s Hamilton. Comes near side for Mercer. Mercer has played every single game in his career to this point. This one’s turned over and away goes Gensel. Gensel’s in, scores. Jake Gensel buries it and makes it one- nothing Tampa Bay. He catches New Jersey all focusing on the puck. He’s on the turn there, so he’s way ahead of everybody. He just freezes the goalender completely. Markstrom is not even sure what he’s going to do yet. And the puck’s already going between his legs. Look at Gensel there. He sees the big space in between. Markstrom is like, “Am I going to stand? Am I going to go down?” Huge spot there. Gensel decisive right away. Doesn’t get in too tight. Rips it along the ice. Long shot. Bounces back out to the blue line and stays in. Here’s Connor. gets it to potty in but saved by Masinski on Nsta. Masinski’s been sharp flipped up ahead trying to catch up. He’s angled off by Dylan. They go into the boards heavily there out in front scores. Pot came right out to him and he does not miss. Two nothing Bolts. Brandon Hegel makes the play here though. So much pressure coming up the ice. He slaps that stick down right there. He does it all the time. Gets right on the back side of Dylan. And because of that, he hammers him into the wall. So now New Jersey has to come in and help Dylan. Dylan’s on the inside at the boards. Is not in good position. Celli, excuse me, Hegel gets some help, some support there from Celli. And good old number 86 Cooerov is in a slot. Makes a beautiful shot. And the Lightning up two zip. Has goals in back-to-back games for Cooerov. And he ties. Lightning scoring first for the third consecutive game. Here’s the faceoff sponsored by Rooms to Go. And for the second consecutive game on home ice, the Lightning of a two nothing lead into the corner for Ginsel. Back to Nikita Cout. Here’s Point now. He’s checked. Comes to Cutra to run his quick drive. that a piece of the post or was it Marstrom stick that hit the post works it down low inside for points shot blocked goes right back to Bjorkstrand here’s points Radish back up top Darwin Radish takes a look takes the shot tip scores Jake Ginsel with his second of the game and it’s a power play goal the Lightning lead three nothing got the box moving a little What a heads up play by Darren Radish though. Radish just drifts his way into the middle. Look at Gensel top left of your screen. He was in front of the net. He just sifts his way backwards. Everybody forgets about him in a white jersey. Gensel’s there. Got his stick ready. Gives him a target. Radish hits it and there’s no way the goalender can react in time. Couldn’t handle the pass cleanly. Was going to be his skates. And now here comes Hegel. He’s going to step Hegel in. back across to Moser and he couldn’t get a shot away. He goes into the playing goes to the net really hard and he ends up in the net. Paggel with a nice job driving to the net here. Gets the goalender’s attention, but the puck is back in Moser’s feet. Moser can’t really stop his forward momentum. Goes into Marker. Marker mauled him a little bit. Centering pass does not get all the way to Brat. Taken away by Celli Hughes breaks that up, but steps back in. Got it to Heir. Oh, what a save by Vaselki. A beauty. Got him with the glove and takes one away. The big cat. Vintage robbery. Devils still with it. Here’s Brad. He’s going to lane. He goes. Got a shot away. Vaselki made the stop. Career high for him. Here’s Luke. Fans on that shot. It goes wide, bounces out in front. Moser is there to knock it away, but it ends up with Heir. Resets it. Look out. This is trouble. And Basilki’s got it loose to the side of the net and batted in. Baselki wasn’t sure where it was. Heir knew and he taps it in to get the Devils on the board. Bassie’s going to make the save, but then Heir’s going to go to the net on the left hand side. See, Bassie doesn’t know where it is. goes off his blocker on a crazy angle back to his the other side of his body. See, he doesn’t know where it is. Good coverage there. I mean, is pretty much as good as you could do for Moser. No luck though for Moser as heir just stays with it and stays with it and he actually kicked that and it’s Moser that puts it in. Point gets it away to Ginsel. Jay Ginsel with a couple of goals in this one including his 10th of the season. He’s the team leader right now on his Gensel hits the post. He almost had the hattick right there along the wall. Beautiful little spin around backhand. Gensel. His timing is everything. That’s what makes him one of the great smart players. Get away from everybody. Get to the front of the net. He saw when Braden Point was getting the puck. He got it by the has gone up and down the ice 153 more times. Up and back. That’s the difference in 12 miles more skating than the length. And there was the comparison again. Cut works in small spaces and Hughes over the course of the season has skated about 11 miles more than Coutroof has. Different styles. Here’s points. Radish load, shoots, scores. Darren Radish with a rocket. And it is 41 Tampa Bay. Radish coming late on the play. He’ll be at the top of your screen again. from Braden Point pushing the defenders back and look at the time and room for Radish. He gets it is able to walk down pretty much to the top of the circle. Put it on a T. Gets it away really quickly. Return the favor, but the Lightning get the puck back after they lost the faceoff. Here’s Coov again. Lets it go. Looking for the tip from Gensel. Kov again inside of Gensel scores. Jake Gel and bring out the hats. It’s a hat-tick and it’s 51. He is redot. And how about the pass again from Cooerov, but it’s Genso scoring from the same position again from the top from Radit. This time he’s in exactly the same spot and it’s Cucharov that gets it to him. Cucharov hangs out outside the dot and because of that he’s in that area that makes defenders think well should I go all the way. Yeah, Brendan Dylan went all the way. That means the front of the net is a lot more open and because of that Cucharov knows exactly what he can do with that. How about that set of hands too because Gensel takes a little step backwards, receives the puck, gets it soft enough hands to shuffle Gourd and it roll away from him and it comes to the line held in here. They shot in tight. Bas rebound is going to be cleared by floing back the other way. Cut through center up ahead. Here’s Gel. Gel in. Stopped by Marstrom. But it won’t matter in the end. The Lighting are going to take this one full value. They win it 51 final.

Jake Guentzel recorded a hat trick, Darren Raddysh added a goal and three points, and the Tampa Bay Lightning cruised to a 5-1 win over the New Jersey Devils.
