Nico Hischier and Nathan Bastian each scored a pair of goals to lead the New Jersey Devils to a 6-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers in the outdoor game at MetLife Stadium on Saturday night.

Hischier, the Devils captain, also added an assist in the win. Bastian's second was an empty-netter. Owen Tippett potted two tallies of his own for the Flyers.

New Jersey opened the scoring on Hischier's first of the night just 32 seconds into the open-air tilt. He notched the second-fastest goal to start an outdoor game in NHL history behind Colby Armstrong's marker that came 21 seconds into the 2008 Winter Classic.

The Devils led 2-0 after the first period, but the Flyers showed more life in the second stanza. Philadelphia set an NHL record for the most shots in a single period of an outdoor game with 25, but New Jersey led 4-2 heading into the final frame.

Hischier nabbed his second goal of the contest less than three minutes into the third period. He and Bastian put their "Sopranos" and "Jersey Shore" attire back on to meet with reporters postgame and after all of the Devils donned the wardrobe for their entrance.

The Flyers came into the stadium dressed as Rocky, wearing grey sweats like the iconic character did in a classic training montage.

The Stadium Series' next installment is scheduled for Sunday between the New York Rangers and the New York Islanders. It'll also be played at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
