Palat gave New Jersey the lead with 4:47 left in the first
period with a slap shot off a banked entry pass from Luke
Hughes. Palat has three goals in his last four games.

power-play goal with 6:51 left in the second period. Dillon’s
unassisted goal early in the third extended the New Jersey lead.

to six games (five goals, one assist).
Takeaways
Devils: Curtis Lazar (lower body) returned to the lineup for the
first time since Oct. 27. He centered a line with wingers Tomas
Tatar and Nathan Bastian.
Blues: Robert Thomas (seven games) and Pavel Buchnevich (six
games) had their respective points streaks snapped.
Key moment
Markstrom got help from his post on a Kyrou shot that deflected
several times on its way to the net in the first period. A few
minutes later, Markstrom came up with a tough pad save after
Dylan Holloway split the Devils defense to keep St. Louis off
the board.
Key stat
New Jersey improved to 12-4 on the road this season and held the
Blues to 20 shots, marking the fourth straight game the Devils
held their opponent to 20 or fewer shots in the game.
Up Next
The Devils travel to Columbus on Thursday, the same day the
Blues kick off a three-game trip at Tampa Bay.
