Two New Jersey Devils [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-jersey-devils] players left the game with injuries during last night’s 4-3 overtime victory over the Chicago Blackhawks. Zack MacEwen and Cody Glass missed most of last night’s game. Both players had just recently returned from previous early-season injuries, only to be sidelined again. Eight minutes into the first period, Zack MacEwen, in only his second game since returning from injury, took a hit from Connor Murphy that sent him to the locker room for the remainder of the game. Cody Glass slid hard into the boards near the end of the first period. He returned for one shift in the second before leaving the game for the night.

Coach Sheldon Keefe spoke with the media about the win. “I loved how our guys stayed with it,” Keefe said to NHL.com [https://www.nhl.com/news/new-jersey-devils-chicago-blackhawks-game-recap-november-12-2025]. “Even though we were down most of the game, I loved a lot about our game today. In lots of ways, I thought it was the best game we’ve played all season in terms of controlling the play. Up until a couple in the third period, I don’t know that we gave up a real clean scoring chance against, and obviously generated plenty of our own. To get the two points feels good, and the guys get rewarded for that. I thought we played really, really well today. It was a really nice recipe that’s going to give us a chance to win most nights.” Updates on both players are expected in the coming days. The Devils now prepare for Saturday’s game against the Capitals.
