Blackwood, who played five seasons for the Devils before he was traded to the Sharks in June 2023, recorded the 11th shutout of his career in his first game as a visiting netminder at Prudential Center.

The loss ended the Devils’ three-game winning streak. New Jersey was coming off Saturday’s 4-3 comeback overtime road win against the Islanders.
