PITTSBURGH -- Jack Hughes scored twice, and Timo Meier scored in the seventh round of a shootout as the New Jersey Devils recovered from losing a two-goal lead to win 3-2 against the Pittsburgh Penguins at PPG Paints Arena on Tuesday.

The New Jersey Devils earn a 3-2 shootout victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night for their 30th win of 2024-25. Timo Meier scored the game-winning goal in the seventh round. Erik Haula returned to the lineup, and in his first start of the season, Nico Daws made 25 saves on 27 shots before making five saves in the shootout.

It seems as if there’s never a good time for the Pittsburgh Penguins to play New Jersey. Especially at PPG Paints Arena. The Devils, after all, entered their game there Tuesday with victories in their previous five visits to the Penguins’ home rink.
