The Devils erupted for four goals in the first period following Friday’s exasperating 2-1 home loss to Columbus. New Jersey won for first time at home since Oct. 29 and for the second time in eight games overall.
Cole Perfetti scored in a fifth consecutive game and the Winnipeg Jets beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 on Friday night. Mason Appleton and Nikolaj Ehlers also scored, and Nino Niederreiter and Vladislav Namestnikov each had two assists. Connor Hellebuyck made 25 saves.
Alex Tuch, Zach Benson and Eric Comrie are likely to play against the Winnipeg Jets on Friday (8 p.m. ET; TSN3, MSG-B, NHLN). Tuch, who has missed three games because of an upper-body injury, returned to practice Thursday in a no-contact jersey and skated on the top line with Dylan Cozens and Jeff Skinner.
