New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier during the third period against the Detroit Red Wings, Thursday, Oct. 12, 2023 in Newark, N.J. The Devils won, 4-3.NEWARK, N.J. — Dougie Hamilton snapped a third-period tie, Vitek Vanecek made 32 saves and the New Jersey Devils beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 on Thursday night in the season opener for each team.
Jack Hughes scored twice in the second period for New Jersey, and Jonas Siegenthaler had three assists. “A little premature, but you can’t be too upset about that,’’ Hughes said of the supportive opening-night chorus. Vanecek, a revelation for the Devils last season when he won 33 games, made his best save at 8:13 of the second, denying Andrew Copp at the doorstep after Copp accepted a pass from Sprong on a 2-on-1 break.
After a 49-point improvement in 2022-23, the speedy Devils downed the rival Rangers in seven games in the first round of the playoffs last spring before falling to the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round.
