Despite the loss, two of the Devils\u2019 stars continued to shine, as Dougie Hamilton and Jack Hughes both found the back of the net. After a successful stretch through Canada, the Devils are back at the Prudential Center on Tuesday to host the Winnipeg Jets.<\/p>\n

Dougie Hamilton<\/a> broke the ice, giving New Jersey a 1-0 lead, scoring his sixth goal of the season with 11:49 left on the clock on the power play. He finished a pass from Jack Hughes from below the goal line, who got the puck from Connor Brown from the left circle, and Hamilton fired a snap shot from the right face-off circle past Joey Daccord\u2019s blocker. This is the 10th straight game where the Kraken has allowed a goal against in the first 10 minutes.<\/p>\n At 12:23 of the second period, Ryker Evans<\/a> tied it up 1-1 on his fourth of the season, scoring a long-distance wrist shot after some passing back and forth. His shot deflected off Jonathan Kovacevic\u2019s stick in the slot, trickling through Jacob Markstrom\u2019s pads.\u00a0<\/p>\n Matty Beniers<\/a> put in his 12th goal of the season when he roofed a backhander over Markstrom\u2019s glove at 12:56 after he took a pass from Jordan Eberle and cut across the slot into the bottom of the right circle to put Seattle ahead 2-1. Just 18 seconds later, Berkly Catton<\/a> pushed the Kraken lead to 3-1, picking up his fifth of the season when Chandler Stephenson fed Catton at the left side of the net cross-slot. Catton shot the puck off the outside of the net, but it popped into the air before hitting his body, and dropped into an open net. Jack Hughes<\/a> ended his 15-game drought when he responded 52 seconds later, finding the back of the net to cut it 3-2 on the power play when he snapped a shot that deflected off Adam Larsson\u2019s right leg after gliding toward the left dot, and it went right under Daccord\u2019s blocker. This was Hughes\u2019 12th goal of the season. With 1:12 to go in the final frame, Eberle struck New Jersey\u2019s empty net for the 4-2 win.<\/p>\n Game Notes:<\/p>\n \u2013 Jacob Markstrom made a total of 15 saves for New Jersey.<\/p>\n \u2013 Dougie Hamilton and Jack Hughes both recorded a goal and an assist.
