SUNDAY AROUND THE NHL

Devils 7, Blackhawks 5

CHICAGO

Miles Wood had three goals for his first career hat trick and added an assist to help New Jersey rally for a wild win over Chicago. Rookie Nico Hischier had a goal and two assists. Andy Green, Taylor Hall and Brian Gibbons also scored for the Metropolitan Division-leading Devils, who won their second straight after a four-game skid (0-2-2). Keith Kinkaid stopped 39 shots. Defenseman Jan Rutta had a goal and two assists, Patrick Kane had a goal and an assist, and Artem Anisimov, Tanner Kero and rookie Alex DeBrincat also scored for the Blackhawks, who have lost three of four. Corey Crawford took the loss, allowing six goals on 25 shots before being replaced by Anton Forsberg to start the third period. Forsberg stopped 12 of the 13 shots he faced. With New Jersey trailing 4-1, Wood scored his second goal of the game late in the first period to start a run of five straight Devils goals. Wood came in with three goals and two assists in his first 15 games and nearly matched that in one game. Artem Anisimov, Tanner Kero and rookie Alex DeBrincat also scored for Chicago. Anismov was credited with his sixth goal on a deflection of Rutta’s shot from the blue line just 41 seconds in to open the scoring. Wood scored on the power-play from the slot 2:59 later to tie it. Chicago temporarily took charge with three goals in a 3:20 span late in the period. DeBrincat scored with 6:19 left during a 4-on-4, converting a pass from Nick Schmaltz with a one-timer from the slot. It gave the 19-year-old DeBrincat three goals in two games and five in his last six. Wood started New Jersey’s comeback with 2:33 left in the period on a shot from the left circle.
