Jack Hughes beat Ilya Sorokin on a breakaway 1:18 into overtime Saturday, and the Devils erased a two-goal deficit in the third period to beat the Islanders 5-4. It was their fourth straight win and their tenth in 12 games, and it moved them to 12-5-0. Hughes added an assist, which extended his run of multi-point games to five. Toronto, 8-8-2, lost 4-2 at home to Montreal on Saturday after Alex Newhook scored twice in the first period. That followed a 3-2 loss to Utah on Tuesday. Kirill Marchenko was producing at a point-per-game clip before his lower-body injury, and he remains on injured reserve with a mid-November return date. Morgan Rielly, who has 12 assists in 17 games, left Saturday's game with a lower-body injury and did not return. Through Friday's games the Devils owned 56.55% of the five-on-five expected goals, the underlying shot-quality numbers that strip out puck luck, and that is why the Devils get my vote on the moneyline tonight.
