Jack Hughes’ first goal enough to keep Devils rolling

This time, Jack Hughes got the better of his older brother, Quinn.

He had plenty of witnesses, too.

The 18-year-old Hughes scored his first career goal in his first NHL game against his 20-year-old brother, and the Devils beat the Canucks 1-0 on Saturday at Prudential Center.

Mackenzie Blackwood stopped 25 shots in his third career shutout, sending New Jersey to its second straight victory after starting the season with six straight losses.

Jack Hughes played in his eighth NHL game after he was selected by New Jersey with the No. 1-overall pick in this year’s draft.
