Look up the definition of an "ugly win," and today's game between the New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders could appear as an example. The Devils did prevail on Halloween with a 3-2 win through the shootout. However, the run of play was far from an even competition. The Devils started hot, got a goal, got another goal against the run of play, conceded two goals on special teams, and then generated next-to-nothing until the end of regulation. Overtime didn't solve it, but the shootout did thanks to goals by Jacob Josefson and Mike Cammalleri and saves by Cory Schneider and the post.
