Boqvist tied it 1-1 at 12:13. He took a pass from Matthew Tkachuk in the left circle, put the puck between the legs of Dougie Hamilton as he cut to the slot, and made a move back to his forehand at the top of the crease before sliding the puck past Allen’s right pad.

Bratt gave the Devils a 2-1 lead with two seconds remaining in the period, scoring a power-play goal through a screen from the top of the right circle.

New Jersey went 3-for-5 with the man-advantage. Florida was 0-for-5.
