In the latest hockey news, Jake Allen, goaltender for the New Jersey Devils, delivered an exceptional performance on Monday. Allen blocked all 31 shots aimed at him, securing his second shutout this season and the 26th in his professional career. This impressive feat helped the Devils clinch a 3-0 victory over the Edmonton Oilers, wrapping up their tour of Western Canada on a high note.

The Devils’ victory was not solely due to Allen’s prowess. Jesper Bratt also played a significant role in the win, scoring a goal and providing an assist. Stefan Noesen and Timo Meier also contributed to the Devils’ tally. With a current record of 8-5-2, the Devils seem to be recovering from their previous four-game losing streak, having now won three out of their last four matches.

On the other hand, the Oilers, who were on a modest two-game winning streak, found themselves on the losing end this time. Despite a strong defensive performance from Calvin Pickard, who made 13 saves, the Oilers’ offense fell short.

In the midst of the game, Jesper Bratt caught the spectators’ attention. Apart from scoring a goal, Bratt also registered his 12th assist of the season, bringing his total to 15 points. His teammate, Nico Hischier, leads the team with 16 points.

However, the Oilers’ star player, Leon Draisaitl, had a disappointing performance. After scoring six points in his previous two games, he failed to score any points against the Devils. This was surprising, considering Draisaitl’s history of strong performances against the New Jersey team.

After the match, hopes were high for the return of Connor McDavid, the Oilers’ star forward and captain. Despite being sidelined by an ankle injury, McDavid participated in the optional morning skate, hinting at a possible return to the field soon.

Off the rink, the Oilers made a strategic move by trading defenceman Ben Gleason for Ronnie Attard from the Philadelphia Flyers. The 6-foot-3 Attard is expected to reinforce the Oilers’ defense, providing a new dynamic to the team’s play.

The Devils are all set to face the Montreal Canadiens in their next match, while the Oilers are preparing to take on the Vegas Golden Knights.
