New Jersey has an all-time record of 46-54-17-4 versus Vancouver.
The New Jersey Devils will wrap up their ninth back-to-back set when they host the Vancouver Canucks Saturday night. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 P.M. After playing last night, the club did not hold a morning skate, and head coach Lindy Ruff will meet with the media at 5:00 P.M.
One question mark entering Saturday night is the status of 22-year-old Jack Hughes, who was just named to the 2024 NHL All-Star Weekend in Toronto. He could not finish Friday night's game because of an undisclosed injury. Ruff did not have an update after the team's 4-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks.
