Blackwood made 25 saves in the first two periods but was especially brilliant in the third when he made 19 saves, including six on a penalty kill after defenseman Mario Ferraro was called for hooking with 3:32 left in regulation.
"It's pretty cool for me," said Blackwood, who was drafted by the Devils in 2015 and played with the team from 2018 to 2023 before he was traded to San Jose.
"I think the games that we've won this year, we played mostly very simple," Sturm said. "With the roster makeup that we have, that's how we've got to play."
