NEWARK, N.J. — Jake Allen made 20 saves to earn his first shutout as a member of the New Jersey Devils in a 3-0 win against the Utah Hockey Club at Prudential Center on Monday.

It was Allen’s 25th shutout of his NHL career and first since Feb. 14, 2023, with the Montreal Canadiens.

Nico Hischier and Seamus Casey each had a goal and an assist, and Stefan Noesen scored for the Devils (4-1-0).

Karel Vejmelka made 30 saves for Utah (3-1-0), which had won the first three games of its inaugural season by scoring 16 goals and tying for the best power play in the NHL (42.9 percent). It went 0-for-4 against the Devils.

Allen’s most notable of the six saves he made the first period came against Alex Kerfoot with his glove on a snap shot from the slot at 3:34.

Casey gave the Devils a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal at 1:14 of the second. The rookie defenseman forced a turnover at the Utah blue line, took a pass from Hischier, skated down the slot and picked the top right corner for his third goal of the season.

Noesen made it 2-0 at 8:13 on a backhand off a rebound in the slot. Casey earned the primary assist on a shot from the point.

Hischier pushed it to 3-0 at 10:13 of the third on a power-play goal. The Devils captain took a pass in the slot from Jack Hughes and scored his second of the season on a snap shot.

Allen made another big save off a slap shot from the right face-off circle by Logan Cooley at 16:58 of the third, when Utah was pressing.
