New Jersey 4, Vancouver 1

Hischier reached 200 goals for New Jersey as the Devils went 3-for-4 on the power play and handed Vancouver its fifth straight penalty-kill goal against.

  • On Saturday, the New Jersey Devils defeated the Vancouver Canucks 4-1 at Prudential Centre, with Nico Hischier scoring twice on the power play. The Devils converted three of four power-play opportunities.
  • Vancouver's penalty kill efficiency dropped to 52.2 per cent, marking the fifth consecutive game the team surrendered a power-play goal. Head coach Manny Malhotra said the team cannot continue giving up goals on the PK at this rate.
  • Center Nico Hischier reached his 200th career goal in 613 games, becoming the second-fastest Swiss player to achieve the milestone. Jack Hughes added two assists, while goaltender Jake Allen made 20 saves in his 500th career game.
  • Goaltender Leevi Merilainen twice dealt with skate blade malfunctions during the game, forcing Kevin Lankinen to enter in relief and make two saves on three shots. Equipment issues complicated Vancouver's defensive efforts.
  • The Canucks continue their six-game road trip facing ongoing challenges integrating new players while attempting to reverse their special teams decline. They visit the New York Rangers on Sunday.
