NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Jack Hughes had his second two-goal game of the season against the New York Rangers and Jacob Markstrom had his second straight 12-save shutout to lead the New Jersey Devils to a 5-0 victory on Monday. Timo Meier, Stefan Noesen and Dawson Mercer also scored for New Jersey, which is 7-2-1 in December. Hughes added an assist on the last goal to register a three-point game. Markstrom , who blanked the Penguins on Saturday, wasn’t tested much.
His best save came early in the third period on a shot from the left circle by Artemi Panarin. Jonathan Quick made 25 saves for the Rangers, who have lost 13 of 17 games. Chris Kreider was a healthy scratch. The game was feisty, with two fights and plenty more post-whistle pushing and shoving.
