Simon Nemec scored in the extra frame as New Jersey stopped Calgary’s two-game winning streak
Simon Nemec scored at 1:18 of overtime to give the New Jersey Devils a 2-1 NHL victory over the Calgary Flames on Monday night.Nazem Kadri scored for Calgary , which had a two-game win streak halted. Rookie Matvei Gridin picked up his first NHL assist.
Putting a damper on the Devils’ victory was the loss of defenceman Luke Hughes halfway through the second period, who appeared to get shaken up during a puck battle along the sideboards. Defenceman Zach Whitecloud made his Calgary debut after being acquired from Vegas on Sunday along with two draft picks and a prospect in a trade that sent longtime Flames defenceman Rasmus Andersson to the Golden Knights.Devils: It looks like defenceman Dougie Hamilton has rekindled his offensive touch. His assist on Mercer’s goal gives him five helpers in four games since coach Sheldon Keefe made him a healthy scratch on Jan. 11, which came after a stretch of three points in 29 games. Making his NHL debut on the right wing was 2022 second-round pick Lenni Hameenaho. Flames: Forward Blake Coleman missed his fourth game. However, he was back on the ice with the team at the morning skate and is nearing a return. His spot on a line with Mikael Backlund and Matt Coronato has been taken by Yegor Sharangovich, who had five points in his first three games before being blanked against his former team.The overtime goal came after a turnover by Flames’ defenceman MacKenzie Weegar who coughed up the puck in his own end to Jack Hughes, who slipped the puck across to Nemec and the defenceman chipped the puck over Cooley.Predators beat Flames 4-3 as Nicolas Hague breaks tie with 28 seconds left
