Jacob Markstrom made 25 saves as the New Jersey Devils defeated the St. Louis Blues 3-1, ending a five-game losing streak. Timo Meier and Dougie Hamilton scored in the second period, with Meier netting his 16th goal of the season and Hamilton scoring on a power play. Pavel Buchnevich scored for the Blues with less than two minutes left, and Nico Hischier sealed the win with an empty-net goal. The Devils will host Florida next, while the Blues face Minnesota on Sunday.
