New Jersey Devils End Home Losing Streak with 4-1 Victory Over Anaheim DucksThe New Jersey Devils snapped a five-game home losing streak with a four-to-one victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday. Goalie Jake Allen was a standout, making thirty saves to secure the win. Stefan Noesen contributed with a goal and an assist, helping the Devils improve their record to eighteen wins, thirteen losses, and one overtime loss. This much-needed home win was the Devils first since late November, ending a frustrating stretch at the Prudential Center. Meanwhile, the Anaheim Ducks, now at nineteen wins, twelve losses, and one overtime loss, have dropped their second straight game after previously winning three in a row. Ducks goalie Lukas Dostal made eighteen saves in his return from an upper-body injury. Anaheim initially took the lead with a goal from Troy Terry in the first period. However, Stefan Noesen quickly tied the game for New Jersey. The Devils then pulled ahead in the second period with goals from Paul Cotter and Cody Glass, establishing a comfortable lead that they maintained through the rest of the game. Jake Allen continued his strong performance into the third period, making fourteen crucial saves, including a key stop with the Ducks on a power play. Connor Brown sealed the deal for New Jersey with an empty-net goal late in the final period, making the score four to one. Devils coach Sheldon Keefe praised his teams effort and improved structure. This game also marked a notable milestone for Ducks coach Joel Quenneville, who coached his one thousand eight hundredth NHL game, becoming only the fifth person to reach this impressive number.
