Olympic Hero Jack Hughes Scores in OT to Lift the Devils over the Flyers 3-2

Hughes scored 1:37 into overtime after New Jersey tied the game on a goal by his brother Luke.

  • On Thursday, New Jersey Devils center Jack Hughes scored with 1:37 left in overtime to lift the team to a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers in Newark, New Jersey. Hughes stole the puck from Travis Sanheim before the winning goal.
  • After suffering a 7-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday, the Flyers remain winless through two games this season. This early struggle set the stage for another difficult defeat.
