SEATTLE -- Jacob Markstrom made 22 saves to help the New Jersey Devils end a four-game losing streak with a 3-2 win against the Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena on Monday. Markstrom made two desperation saves in the third period to preserve the win, one with his glove on Eeli Tolvanen and one with his stick on Matty Beniers.

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.

Ondrej Palat scored the tiebreaking goal early in the third period, and the Devils beat the Seattle Kraken 3-2 on Monday night.

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).
