Connor Hellebuyck made 16 saves on 17 shots in his first game with New Jersey, a 5-1 win over the Dallas Stars on Tuesday night. It was his first win since April 9. Hellebuyck, a three-time Vezina Trophy winner, had been traded by the Winnipeg Jets after a suspension for failing to report to training camp. He started four days after the trade.
Hischier scored twice for the Devils, who also got goals from Jack Hughes, Luke Hughes and Jesper Boqvist. New Jersey has won four straight games. Justin Hryckowian scored for Dallas, ending the Stars' five-game winning streak. Casey DeSmith made 22 saves for Dallas. The five goals were the most the Devils have scored against Dallas this season.
Stars defenseman Kyle Capobianco was helped off the ice in the third period with an apparent leg injury and did not return.
