Hall scored, and Mackenzie Blackwood made 28 saves for New Jersey (9-14-5), which has lost four straight games and is looking for its first win since Alain Nasreddine replaced John Hynes as coach on Tuesday (0-1-1).
"We don't have anything to lose now," Hall said. "There's been a big change in the organization, and when that happens, everyone has to make a change with how they're coming to the rink. It's a new opportunity for everyone, a fresh start, and the coaches have conveyed that to us."
Hall scored a power-play goal on a snap shot from the right circle that went through a screen by Pavel Zacha at 13:31 of the first period to give the Devils a 1-0 lead. It was Hall's fifth goal of the season and first in six games.
"I think [Hall] was probably our best player on the ice," Nasreddine said. "He had numerous chances, his shot looked great, and I think him and [Hughes] did pretty well together."
