New Jersey won the NHL game away 4–3.

Markström sent the puck all the way to the offensive blue to Simon Nemec who shot in the crossbar 3:28 into overtime.

"He was waiting for it (the pass). It was wide open so just a little soft pass," Markström said, according to nhl.com.

Nemec was the Devils' hero by scoring a hat trick. In addition to the winning goal, the Slovak was responsible for the tie at 3–3 in the third period.

"It was his night, a big night for him, topped off with an overtime hat trick. It was big," said Markström, who took 17 shots in the game.
