The New Jersey Devils secured their first victory of the season with a dramatic overtime triumph over the Philadelphia Flyers, extending their playoff hopes early in the campaign. A late surge from the Hughes brothers—one of whom scored the decisive goal—propelled the Devils past a resilient Flyers squad in a tightly contested match. The win marks a strong start for New Jersey, who had struggled in preseason play, while Philadelphia’s season-opening momentum is now on shaky ground. Fans and analysts will be watching closely to see if this momentum carries into the Devils’ next challenges.
