Forward Ilya Kovalchuk walked away with a moral victory after earning the game-deciding goal in style vs. the New Jersey Devils.

It’s always a date for New Jersey Devils fans to circle on the calendar when Ilya Kovalchuk returns to the Prudential Center.

Since retiring from the NHL, and ditching the Devils for the Kontinental Hockey League in Russia back in 2012-13, the sniper has now skated at the Rock twice.

While Kovalchuk received loud boos during his first venture back to beautiful Newark, NJ last season in a Los Angeles Kings sweater, tonight’s victory might have been that much sweeter for the Olympic Gold medalist.
