Hellebuyck Makes 23 Saves for His First Shutout with Devils in 4-0 Victory over Maple Leafs
Timo Meier scored twice and New Jersey won its ninth in 10 games as Connor Hellebuyck made 23 saves for his first Devils shutout.
On Sunday night, the New Jersey Devils defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-0 at Scotiabank Arena, with goaltender Connor Hellebuyck earning his first shutout with New Jersey by stopping 23 shots.
Toronto struggled with injuries and inconsistent play, missing veteran defencemen Morgan Rielly and Chris Tanev along with forward Jack Roslovic, while the Leafs have lost three straight games in regulation.
Timo Meier scored twice for New Jersey, while captain Nico Hischier recorded a goal and an assist, becoming the third Swiss-born player in NHL history with 500 career points.
The Devils continue their road trip by visiting the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday, while the Maple Leafs prepare to host the Colorado Avalanche seeking to end their losing streak.
Before the game, the Hockey Hall of Fame honoured its class of 2026, including Carey Price and Patrice Bergeron, as Toronto remained 8-9-2 following the shutout loss.
