The Devils score three power play goals against the NHL-worst penalty kill Red Wings in a 5-4 win

DETROIT – Dougie Hamilton, Timo Meier and Jack Hughes scored on power plays as the New Jersey Devils took advantage of Detroit’s worst penalty kill in the NHL in a 5-4 win over the Red Wings on Friday.

New Jersey went 3 of 4 with the man advantage. Detroit has taken 60% of its penalties, the lowest in the league (39 of 65).

Stefan Noesen and Nico Hischier also scored goals for the Devils, who won four of five. Lucas Raymond, Vladimir Tarasenko, Justin Holl and Tyler Motte scored for the Red Wings, who had won their previous two games.

Each goalie made 25 saves: Jacob Markstrom of the Devils and Cam Talbot of the Red Wings.

Devils: New Jersey is 5-1 in their last six road games. … Hischier has scored four goals in New Jersey’s last three games. … Hamilton has scored three goals in the last five. … The Devils scored an NHL-high 36 goals in the second half.

Red Wings: Talbot played his 500th NHL game. … Motte and Holl’s goals were their first of the season and the first for the Red Wings. … RW Patrick Kane (upper body injury) and G Alex Lyon (upper body injury) sat out.

Detroit led 2-0 late in the first period when Hamilton scored a power-play goal. The Red Wings fought unsuccessfully due to goaltender interference. In the following power play from the bench, which Detroit used for the unsuccessful duel, Meier scored a goal to tie the game 2-2.

Raymond scored for the fifth straight game. He also had a five-game goal streak last season. Raymond is the only Detroit player to score in five consecutive games over the last 16 years. Johan Franzen was the previous Red Wings player to achieve this in the 2007/08 season.

The Devils host Washington on Saturday. The Red Wings host Vancouver on Sunday.
