Devils’ hellish skid continues with another overtime defeat

Another extra period, another crusher for the Devils.

Mark Scheifele scored his second goal of the game at 4:43 of overtime, and the Jets beat the Devils, 4-3, Saturday night at Prudential Center in Newark.

It was the Devils’ fifth straight loss — three of them in overtime. The Devils last won on Nov. 21, a 5-2 home victory over the Canadiens.

Scheifele tucked the puck past Keith Kinkaid as the Jets won their second straight, improving to 3-3-0 over their past six games.

In the overtime, the Devils failed to convert a two-man breakaway as Laurent Brossoit stopped Taylor Hall, who was set up by Nico Hischier.
