In a tightly contested match, the New Jersey Devils triumphed over the Seattle Kraken with a 3-2 victory, thanks to Ondrej Palat's tiebreaking goal early in the third period. The win marked the end of a four-game losing streak for New Jersey, with Dawson Mercer contributing a goal and an assist, and Paul Cotter also finding the net. Seattle's Jacob Markstrom made 21 saves, while Philipp Grubauer stopped 26 shots for the Kraken, who have struggled recently, losing three consecutive games and eight out of ten.

Mercer opened the scoring in the first period, capitalizing on a rebound for his tenth goal of the season. Seattle's Adam Larsson responded to tie the game, but Cotter's late second-period goal gave New Jersey the lead once again. Wright's power-play goal temporarily equalized for the Kraken before Palat quickly restored the Devils' advantage.
