The Devils didn't get on the scoreboard until 16:17 of the second period when Jack Hughes scored unassisted on the power-play.
"I felt good the whole way," said Hughes, the 2019 first-overall pick. "It was more of just kind of getting my feet wet again getting back into game mode."
The Devils scored three goals in the final frame, from Jesper Boqvist at 5:09 of the third period.
Boqvist and Hughes were paired on a line and on the same power-play unit.
"He's good," said Hughes. "He's a really good player with high-skill. Exactly how I thought he'd be, so it's fun to play with him."
Colton White at 15:11 of the third, assisted by Mitchell Hoelscher and Graeme Clarke, and the final Devils goal of the game came from Joey Anderson, assisted by Colton White and Brandon Gignac.
