GDT: Devils @ Canucks - 10:30 PM - MSG

[JK3]

NEW JERSEY DEVILS (6-4-2) vs. CANUCKS (4-1-3)
New Jersey opens up its Western Canada trip with a Hughes Bowl contest in Vancouver Wednesday night. It will be the second time all three Hughes brothers - Quinn, Jack, Luke - will face each other in the same game.

The Devils got back in the win column against Anaheim Sunday with a 6-2 victory. The win snapped the club’s 0-2-2 skid.

Devils captain Nico Hischier continued his hot play with his NHL-leading ninth goal of the season, he has six goals in his past five games and seven points. Forwards Paul Cotter (6 goals) and Stefan Noesen (5) have also started the year with goal outbursts. Jesper Bratt has a five-game scoring streak with six points (1g-5a), has points in 10 of his last 11 games and is tied with Hischier for the club lead in scoring with 12 points.

The Devils lost Curtis Lazar "for a while" due to an injury per head coach Sheldon Keefe. The Devils recalled Justin Dowling who centered the fourth line at Tuesday's practice.

The Canucks close out a three-game homestand against the Devils. Vancouver is 4-0-1 in its past five games, and 4-1-3 on the season.

Brock Boeser paces the team with five goals and nine points. J.T. Miller also has nine points and a three-game point streak heading into tonight. It’s been a somewhat slow start for Elias Pettersson, who inked an 8-year, $11.6 million AAV at the end of last season. He has just four points (1g-3a) in the opening eight games of the season. Last year’s Norris Trophy winner and eldest Hughes brother, Quinn, is third on the club with eight points (2g-6a) in eight games.

Meanwhile, the Canucks have been without starting goaltender Thatcher Demko all season as he has struggled with a rare knee injury, a problem with his popliteus muscle. This has caused stability issues with the knee and rehab has been a slow process. Kevin Lankinen has filled in admirably, going 4-0-2 with a 2.29 goals-against average and .920 save percentage.

INJURIES
Devils: Lazar (undisclosed), Hatakka (upper-body)

Canucks: Demko (knee, IR), Joshua (IR)

Nico needs to keep pace. I expect at least 2 goals.

[HBK27]

Every Vancouver home game in November (and most games throughout the season) starts at 7:00 PDT, yet this one against an Eastern time zone team mid-week doesn't start until 7:30 PDT?!?!?

Hope the Devils destroy them for that extra half hour of missed sleep.

Just looking at tonight’s schedule, for some strange reason it appears no two games start at the same time. There’s a 7:00, 7:30, 9:00, 9:30, 10:00, 10:30.

And the 10:00 is the TNT game, so that’s why they gave us the 10:30 game.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

league loves to promote the "Hughes bowl", then makes the game at 10:30pm ET on a weeknight

never change, NHL

Good callout...only the Vegas/Kings game in a national game, so is the NHL doing this for the handful of fans that will sit around and watch parts of all 6 games tonight at the expense of the Devils fanbase?

So lame. I just assumed at first that Vancouver just had a 7:30 start time for their games, but NOPE! Only 3 other games on their remaining schedule start that late and they're against Colorado, Anaheim & Seattle so it's not big deal.

If the Yankee game is a blowout by 10:00, I'll be extra annoyed (I'm a Mets fan, but have Yankee fans in the family).

 

[pulkit1989]

I’ll be at the game!
Hoping for a win! Let’s to Devils!

 

[youryeah]

10:30 pm start

oh a 10:30 game. SKIP
