Game review

New Jersey beat Dallas 5-1 on October 27, with the game swinging in the second period after a 1-0 first. The Devils added another in the third and kept Dallas to a single middle-period goal.

Nico Hischier led New Jersey with two goals and two points, and Jack Hughes had an assist. Justin Hryckowian scored Dallas’s goal, with Tyler Myers assisting. The team stats explain the gap: New Jersey outshot Dallas, held the edge in hits, and took far fewer penalty minutes, creating three power plays to Dallas’s none.

For bettors, the closing Stars -1.5 spread saw New Jersey cover by 5.5. The closing total of 5.5 finished over by 0.5.
