Jack Hughes had two goals and an assist, and Jesper Bratt also scored two goals in the New Jersey Devils' third straight victory, 6-2 over the Anaheim Ducks on Friday night.
Hughes got his 50th point of the season by scoring in New Jersey's three-goal first period. He added his 28th goal of the season in the final minutes of a blowout win in the first stop of the Devils' four-game West Coast road swing.
Vitek Vanecek made 31 saves, while Jesper Boqvist and Dougie Hamilton added a goal and an assist in only the Devils' second victory in their last eight trips to Anaheim. New Jersey improved to a stunning 16-2-1 on the road this season with its fifth straight victory away from home. Adam Henrique and Trevor Zegras scored and John Gibson stopped 33 shots for the last-place Ducks, who finished the longest homestand in franchise history at 3-6-1, winning just once in regulation.
"Obviously we haven't seen the improvement," Ducks forward Ryan Strome said."I think it's real easy to hang your head and feel sorry for yourself, but it's not a league where anyone cares. ... Right now, it feels like everything is going against us, but this is how you learn. You've got to go through hard times like these. To come to the rink every day and dust yourself off after the performances we've had is tough, these are hopefully moments we learn from.
