Nico Hischier had a goal and two assists to lead the New Jersey Devils past the St. Louis Blues 3-2 in overtime Wednesday night in Newark, N.J.

Hischier set up Simon Nemec for the winning goal 2:58 into overtime as the Devils extended their home-ice point streak to 10 games at 9-0-1.

Timo Meier had a goal and an assist for the Devils, and Jacob Markstrom made 21 saves.

Cam Fowler had a goal and assist for the Blues. Robert Thomas also scored, and Jordan Binnington made 26 saves.

Binnington had to be sharp in the first period as the Devils outshot the Blues 14-7. He stopped Hischier's point-blank rebound attempt in the first minute.

Fowler put the Blues up 1-0 at the 2:16 mark with a slap shot off the left wing.

Shortly thereafter, Binnington stopped Arseny Gritsyuk from the near slot after Blues defender Logan Mailloux turned the puck over in front of his net. Jesper Bratt rushed up the right wing and fired a shot off the left post less than 90 seconds later.

New Jersey finally broke through when Dougie Hamilton shot the puck from the right point and Meier converted the carom to tie the game 1-1.

St. Louis regained the lead on a power play. Thomas took Fowler's pass, slid toward the slot and snapped a shot past Markstrom's short side.

Binnington kept the score at 2-1 by thwarting Meier's drive to the net late in the period.

After Markstrom denied Oskar Sundqvist on a partial breakaway early in the second period, Hischier tied the game 2-2 on a power play at the 8:49 mark.

Meier shot from the right circle and Hischier slid the rebound through Binnington's pads.

The Devils killed off a four-minute Blues power play, then Markstrom stopped Mathieu Joseph to force the game into overtime. Hischier made a cross-crease pass to Nemec for the game-winner.
