Devils good run ends with 5-1 defeat by Ducks
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Adam Henrique scored three goals for his first career hat trick and the Anaheim Ducks beat the Devils 5-1 Sunday night to snap a five-game losing streak.
Alex Killorn had a goal and two assists, Troy Terry had a goal and an assist, and defensemen Pavel Mintyukov and Cam Fowler each had two assists for the Ducks, who were 1-13-0 since their last regulation win on Nov. 14.
John Gibson had 18 saves through two periods and Lukas Dostal stopped all 10 shots he faced in the third. The Ducks announced Gibson was pulled because he was feeling “under the weather.”
Michael McLeod scored for New Jersey, and Akira Schmid finished with 22 saves. The Devils had won two straight and five of six.
After New Jersey dominated the first period by outshooting Anaheim 14-4, Henrique managed to guide a loose puck past Schmid at 1:46 of the second on the power play.
Henrique, who spent parts of eight seasons with the Devils before being traded to Anaheim in November 2017, made it 2-0 with 8:43 left in the middle period.
McLeod finally solved Gibson with 44 seconds left in the second with his sixth of the season.
Killorn scored his fourth at 4:14 of the third before Terry got his seventh at 9:56 to increase the lead to 4-1.
Henrique then completed his hat trick with a short-handed empty-net goal with 5:48 left. It was his ninth of the season.
Anaheim was playing its third straight game in the New York area, coming off a 4-3 loss at the New York Islanders on Wednesday night in the opener of their four-game trip and a 5-1 defeat at the Rangers on Friday.
The injury-depleted Ducks continued to be without four key players: forwards Trevor Zegras, Mason McTavish and Isac Lundestrom, and defenseman Jamie Drysdale.
New Jersey recalled goaltender Nico Daws from Utica of the AHL to back up Schmid as Vitek Vanecek did not dress.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
