New Jersey is playing a back-to-back after defeating St. Louis 2-1 on Friday night in a game that featured several skirmishes after prized Chicago rookie Connor Bedard had to leave the game following a hit by Brendan Smith. Vitek Vanecek had 23 saves for the Devils, who expect to start Nico Daws in this game. Vancouver has won six of 10, but looks to bounce back from a 2-1 loss at St. Louis on Thursday. Canucks goalie Thatcher Demko is 18-8-1 with a 2.47 GAA and a .918 save percentage with three shutouts. Vancouver leads the Pacific Division and trails only Colorado for the league lead in goals scored and on the defensive side the Canucks are tied for No. 4 in goals allowed. Play the Canucks.
