Newark, New Jersey: Devils Beat Capitals 5-2 for Seventh Straight Home Win, Tying Fifth-Longest Streak in Team History
In Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, the New Jersey Devils beat the Washington Capitals 5-2 at Prudential Center on Thursday night, November 12, extending their home winning streak to seven games and tying the fifth-longest home winning streak in team history.
Defenseman Vladislav Kolyachonok, just recalled from affiliate Utica, scored the go-ahead goal at 6:27 of the third period in his season debut. Lenni Hämeenaho and Stefan Noesen, who had also just rejoined the team, scored as well, as three players who joined the lineup within 24 hours combined to engineer the comeback.
Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck made 26 saves and improved to 6-0 since arriving in an October 23 trade from the Winnipeg Jets. The Devils have won six of their last seven games and 10 of their last 12, and sit second in the Metropolitan Division with 28 points.
The team has been formidable at home this season, and Prudential Center has become one of the league's toughest buildings for visiting teams, with the home crowd's noise adding to the pressure. The two teams meet again on Saturday, November 14 in Washington, where the Devils will try to carry their momentum onto the road. (Source: NHL)
