First, Nico Hischier and the New Jersey Devils emerged triumphant over the Arizona Coyotes. Which has been easier said than done lately, at least at the infamous Mullett Arena.
This season, the Desert Dogs have defeated the following teams at home: Minnesota, Tampa Bay, Boston, Colorado, Toronto, Los Angeles, Vegas, and the New York Islanders. So while they remain one of the NHL's worst teams, they have some mojo at Mullett Arena.

Then, Yanni Gourde lifted the Seattle Kraken over the reigning Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche.
The Kraken trailed by a goal until Brandon Tanev tied the game with less than three minutes remaining, which paved the way for Gourde's overtime tally, giving Seattle a 2-0-1 season series lead.
