[7:09 PM] Canucks @ Devils

Who will WIN this matchup?

Vancouver Canucks (11-12-2)

@ New Jersey Devils (11-7-6)

 

Starting Goalies:

Jacob Markstrom(VAN): Confirmed

Cory Schneider(NJ): Confirmed

 

• Michael Cammalleri is atop an offensive tidal wave of late and the veteran forward looks to continue his impressive ride on Tuesday as the New Jersey Devils make a brief stop home to face the Vancouver Canucks. Cammalleri capped a two-goal performance by scoring in overtime of a 5-4 victory at Nashville on Saturday, increasing the 34-year-old’s point total to 14 (nine goals, five assists) in his last eight games.

• Captain Henrik Sedin notched an assist to extend his point streak to three games on Saturday as Vancouver posted its fourth win in six outings with a 3-2 shootout victory over Toronto. The 36-year-old Swede scored in his last meeting with New Jersey and owns 15 points (three goals, 12 assists) in 17 career encounters. Twin brother Daniel tallied versus the Maple Leafs but has just five points (three goals, two assists) on the road this season while veteran goalie Ryan Miller is just 1-6-0 with a gaudy 3.23 goals-against average away from home.

• Cory Schneider may have been drafted by Vancouver in the first round of the 2004 draft, but a lot of water has gone under the bridge since he last donned a Canucks jersey. Schneider has dropped five of his last six decisions (1-3-2), but holds a 2-1-2 lifetime mark versus the Canucks with a 2.17 goals-against average.

• New Jersey LW Taylor Hall has seven points (one goal, six assists) in his last five games, with the last two contests coming after arthroscopic surgery.

• Vancouver F Derek Dorsett, who is out indefinitely, will undergo “cervical fusion surgery to repair disk degeneration in his neck,” the team announced on Monday.

• The Devils have permitted at least three goals in nine consecutive contests.
