Fabian Zetterlund’s second goal of the game gives Devils 4-3 OT win over Flames

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Fabian Zetterlund scored his second goal of the game 2:38 into overtime and the New Jersey Devils beat the Calgary Flames 4-3 on Saturday night for their sixth straight win.

Nathan Bastian and Miles Wood each had a goal and an assist as New Jersey won for the ninth time in their last 10. Vitek Vanecek stopped 27 shots to improve to 5-1-0.

“Things are going pretty well right now,” Bastian said. “Stick to the basics. We play such a simple game. Keep doing that, and hopefully we get results like we are right now.”

In the extra period, the Devils were on a power play when Dougie Hamilton threaded a cross-ice pass to Zetterlund, who sent a one-timer over goalie Jacob Markstrom’s shoulder for his first career two-goal game.

“I worked hard for it, my whole life, actually. I know when the puck is coming there I won’t miss,” said Zetterlund, who has three goals in seven games. “You can hear everyone having fun. … We have a game plan. All four lines and the D-corps and our goalies are following it so it’s easy.”

The 23-year-old Swede spent three seasons in the AHL after being drafted by New Jersey in the third round in 2017. He is getting an opportunity this year and making the most of it.

“We know he’s a good shooter. He’s had a lot of success in the American League,” Devils coach Lindy Ruff said. “The first goal, right place at the right time. Watching our power play, we decided at the end we needed a shooter. … (He) hit a heck of a shot to win the game.”

Nazem Kadri, Nikita Zadorov and Lindholm scored for Calgary, which finished an eight-game homestand with four consecutive losses — the previous three in regulation. Markstrom had 31 saves.

The Flames now head out on a road trip with three games in four days.

“Definitely losing four in a row is unacceptable for our group,” Zadorov said. “We’re going on the road, we haven’t done it for a while,…
