Sprung on a pass by defenseman Eric Gudbranson, Lucic skated in alone down the left wing and rifled a shot past Daws for his first goal this season.

Daws was coming off a 2-1 overtime win over Buffalo on Saturday in his NHL debut.
“We added some veteran guys and we are doing a great job playing as a team,″ he said.
He was traded to Tampa Bay in February 2020 and went on to win two Stanley Cups with the Lightning.
The Devils continued to be without forward Jack Hughes, who suffered an upper body injury against Seattle on Oct .19.
