  "account": "New Jersey Devils' Nico Hischier scored two goals and provided an assist, while teammate Jesper Bratt contributed a goal and an assist in a 4-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday. Jack Hughes added two assists, and Jake Allen, making his 500th career appearance, stopped 20 shots. Linus Karlsson scored the sole goal for Vancouver, who have lost three consecutive games while being outscored 14-5. Hischier achieved a milestone with his first goal becoming his 200th for New Jersey in 613 games, placing him among the fifth Swiss players to reach that mark and the second fastest among them. Timo Meier, Hischier's linemate, scored his 200th goal in 569 games. Both Hischier and Bratt registered power-play goals in the second period, extending the Devils' lead to 4-1. The Devils entered the game as some of the lowest scoring teams this season, having scored just six goals in three games and one power-play goal in 14 attempts. They were successful on the power-play, converting three of their four attempts on Saturday. New Jersey has taken at least 30 shots in each of its first four games. Jesper Boqvist, a left winger on New Jersey's fourth line, gave the Devils a 2-1 advantage late in the first period, marking rookie linemate Amadeus Lombardi's first career point and the Devils' first lead of the season. New Jersey trailed 1-0 in their initial four games this season. Hischier's tying goal was the Devils' second power-play goal in 15 attempts. Karlsson's power-play goal, assisted by Brock Boeser and Jake DeBrusk, provided the Canucks with a 1-0 lead in the first period. The Canucks are currently in the middle of a six-game road trip, with their upcoming four games scheduled in six nights.",
