All in all, the night wasn’t terrific for the New Jersey Devils. A loss in the National Hockey League is still a loss. And their 4-3 overtime loss to Jaromir Jagr and the Florida Panthers on Thursday night will sting a bit.

However, considering how and who scored the Devils final goal in the game will brighten the team’s spirits.

With just under four minutes remaining in regulation and facing a one-goal deficit, young Pavel Zacha collected his first NHL goal after Beau Bennett made Keith Yandle miss while delivering a perfect pass (video above).

Vincent Trocheck tallied two goals in the game including the game-winner at the 4:16 mark of overtime.

Cory Schneider was superb all night long stopping 27-of-31 Panther shots.
