  "account": "Jack Hughes scored a game-winning breakaway goal in overtime, securing a 5-4 victory for the New Jersey Devils over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night. The proceedings began poorly for Detroit, as they were outshot 16-0 in the first period. Evan Rodrigues, Nico Hischier, and Jesper Bratt scored tiebreaking goals for New Jersey, while Anthony Mantha added a tying goal. Johnathan Kovacevic, who made his season debut, contributed to the Devils' defense. Jake Allen made 22 saves for the Devils, and Alex DeBrincat had two tying goals after Emmitt Finne and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard gave the Red Wings a 2-1 lead. John Gibson made 32 saves for Detroit, including a crucial kick save in the third period that denied Arseny Gritsyuk. The Red Wings started the season poorly, trailing 16-0 early on. New Jersey bolstered their third line by acquiring Rodrigues in a trade and signing Mantha in free agency. Despite Dylan Larkin's trade request and Simon Edvinsson's lingering injury issues, the Devils managed to edge out the Red Wings in a hard-fought battle.",
