Down to the last 34 seconds of the third period with a goal by Jesper Bratt leading the Devils to win 6-5 over Vancouver. This was the ninth time in NHL history that three brothers played in the same NHL game. "Getting a picture in warmups was pretty cool," Luke Hughes said. "I haven't really let it all sink in yet. For me, it's seeing him off ice, I haven't seen (Quinn) in a couple of months, and it's been the five of us. Our whole family has been here for two days, going to dinner and hanging out. It's been great for our family." It is so heartwarming to see hockey bringing families together even in a rivalry.
