Stefan Noesen's power-play goal in overtime propelled the New Jersey Devils to a hard-fought 3-2 victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Jacob Markstrom was instrumental in the win, recording 23 saves. This triumph marks the Devils' sixth consecutive home victory, improving their record to 19-10-2 since early November.

The scoring started with Ondrej Palat netting his 10th goal in the first period, aided by Dougie Hamilton and Jesper Bratt. The Lightning's Victor Hedman quickly equalized, but Jack Hughes restored New Jersey's lead before Nikita Kucherov scored for Tampa Bay late in the game.
