  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Newhook scored two goals on three shots with two hits in Thursday's 5-3 loss to New Jersey. Newhook's been snakebit of late, unable to finish or fumbling scoring chances, but got a break when his shot squeezed through the arm and body of Devils' netminder Jacob Markstrom. He later scored a highlight-reel goal, going coast to coast and flipping the puck over Markstrom's shoulder. The two-tally night snapped a five-game scoreless run for Newhook and doubled his goal output. He has four goals, zero assists and is minus-10 through 14 outings. Despite some early-season struggles, Newhook remains on the second line with Juraj Slafkovsky and Jake Evans.
