March 30, 2025, will be remembered as an electrifying night in the NHL where three players truly shone above the rest. Nico Hischier, Leon Draisaitl, and Nikita Kucherov not only impressed fans but also showcased their immense talent on the ice by earning the Three Stars of the Night honors.
Just 29 seconds into the game, the Devils captain put his team up by a goal as he banked home a rebound off Wild netminder Filip Gustavsson's pad. Jesper Bratt took the initial shot off a rush play, popping the puck off Gustavsson's pads with the rebound landing directly on Hischier's stick.
Just 1:32 after Kakko opened the scoring, Duchene deflected a shot from Mason Marchment past Grubauer. Johnston extended his goal streak to five games when he scored his fourth game-winning goal of the season 45 seconds later, a new career high.
