Dawson Mercer had a goal and an assist as the New Jersey Devils broke out of a rut with a 3-2 victory against the host Seattle Kraken on Monday night.

The Devils’ four consecutive defeats hung heavy over them, but on Monday, January 6th, they finally shed it, conquering the Seattle Kraken 3-2 to reclaim their winning spirit.

In a perfect world, the Seattle Kraken would have won Monday’s game (4-3) over the visiting New Jersey Devils. That would have halted a two-game slide, and they could have ventured off for a road swing with some wind in their sails (or waves pushing the Kraken in the right direction).

New Jersey Devils goaltender Jacob Markstrom delivered at least three all-world saves on chances for the Kraken in a 3-2 Seattle loss on Monday night.
