NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Dougie Hamilton scored on the power play in overtime and Vitek Vanecek made 25 saves to give the New Jersey Devils a 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday.

Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier assisted on Hamilton’s 11th goal of the season at the 2:07 mark.

Pittsburgh’s Marcus Pettersson appeared to score the winner earlier in overtime, but the Penguins were called for a too-many-men penalty on the play.

“I just found some space over there and was hoping to get it and just took a swing at it,” Hamilton said of his winning goal. “I’m obviously happy it went in.”

The Devils have won two straight at home in overtime, beating the Rangers 4-3 on Jan. 7 in the same manner. New Jersey had a 4-0-1 trip between the overtime victories at Prudential Center.

“Not every game is going to be a Picasso. We found a way to win a hockey game,” Devils coach Lindy Ruff said. “We played the game the right way.”

New Jersey moved 10 points ahead of Pittsburgh in the Metropolitan Division, and the Devils are two points behind division-leading Carolina. They have three games in four days later this week before the All-Star break.

Hughes opened the scoring 56 seconds into the game, beating Penguins netminder Tristan Jarry (23 saves) on the glove side for his 30th of the season. Hamilton got the lone assist.

The 21-year-old Hughes, in his fourth season with New Jersey, is the second player in Devils history to reach the 30-goal mark before his 22nd birthday. Brendan Shanahan reached the milestone on March 29, 1990.

Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby tied the contest with his 22nd goal of the season — and the 539th of his career — at 6:25 of the first period with assists from Jake Guentzel and defenseman Jeff Petry.

“We played well enough to win. I thought we did a really good job defending,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. “There was a lot to like about this game. Our team is playing hard, giving us chances to win.”
