Dougie Hamilton scored for New Jersey in the first period. It was the first goal for the defenseman since Dec. 2 and No. 6 on the season.

After defeating the New York Islanders on Thursday, 5-3, the Philadelphia Flyers (21-20-6) traveled down to Newark, New Jersey, to take on the New Jersey Devils (26-16-6) in another Metropolitan Division showdown.

The Devils and Philadelphia Flyers played a low-scoring, low-event hockey game at Prudential Center Saturday afternoon. With both teams locked in defensively, it would come down to a mistake or two that would be the difference in the game.
