The New Jersey Devils tied the longest winning streak in franchise history Monday night, when five players scored a goal apiece in a 5-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers in Newark, N.J.
Jesper Bratt, Dawson Mercer, Damon Severson, Tomas Tatar and Yegor Sharangovich scored for the Devils, whose 13-game winning streak matches the mark set by the 2000-01 team that later reached the Stanley Cup Finals. Vitek Vanecek stopped 28 shots for the victory.
Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored for the Oilers, who have alternated losses with wins in their last seven games. Stuart Skinner recorded 23 saves.
Nugent-Hopkins nearly tied the score 3-3 early in the third period, when his shot sailed just over the top of the net. The Devils doubled their lead on the next trip up the ice following an impressive play by Tatar, whose first shot was deflected by Skinner. Tatar caught the carom, put the puck down and beat Skinner at 7:07.
