Devils fans rescue young anthem singer

NEWARK — Devils fans at the Prudential Center didn’t miss a beat Friday night when they rescued a young girl who stumbled halfway through the national anthem. 

A crowd of about 14,381 took over for Lauralie Mufute when the Jersey City youngster forgot the words at the song’s midpoint. Fans quickly realized this after Mufute took a long pause, and the crowd picked up where she left off to finish the anthem, according to eyewitnesses. 

Mufute sang the anthem once before at a 2016 Devils home game. 

Fans at the arena took to social media Thursday night to praise what was a heartwarming moment.
