Vitek Vanecek News
New Jersey Devils goaltender Vitek Vanecek (illness) returned to morning skate and was in the starter's net on Tuesday. Vanecek missed Sunday's game against Anaheim with an illness after backing up Akira Schmid on Saturday, so the sickness could've been the reason for both missed games. Either way, he should be back tonight against the Philadelphia Flyers. Vanecek has been solid recently, stopping 46 of 49 shots (.939 SV%) in his last two games while picking up the win in both. Fantasy managers should hope this continues and start him tonight.
New Jersey Devils goaltender Vitek Vanecek stopped 23-of-25 shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 victory against the Flames. The 27-year-old had a positive performance, with the only goals surrendered taking place on a breakaway in the final minute of the opening period and an even-strength goal with five minutes remaining in the game. Vanecek has picked up wins in three of his previous four starts, but the overall season totals of a 3.49 goals against average and .879 save percentage are not up to his standards.
New Jersey Devils goaltender Vitek Vanecek is the likely starting goaltender for Thursday's road game versus the Pittsburgh Penguins. The former Washington Capitals netminder was pulled early in his last start after allowing three goals on just five shots in an eventual 4-2 loss to his former club his last time out. Youngster Akira Schmid started the club's next game on Tuesday in Winnipeg but allowed five goals himself in a 6-3 loss. The Devils have been unable to get much from either of their netminders so far this season with Vanecek entering Thursday's contest sporting a 3.45 goals-against average and an .887 Sv% in 10 appearances with Schmid carrying a 3.46 GAA and .885 Sv% in his six outings. Vanecek will take on a dangerous Penguins offense that is tied for seventh in overall offense this season.
New Jersey Devils goalie Vitek Vanecek is the confirmed starter in Game 4 against the Carolina Hurricanes Tuesday. Vanecek secured his first playoff victory, having stopped 26 of 30 shots in an 8-4 win in Game 3. Despite a solid regular season performance, the 27-year-old has encountered some challenges in the playoffs, reflected in his 1-2-0 record, .845 save percentage, and 4.02 goals-against-average. However, he will be looking to help New Jersey maintain their winning momentum and level the series against the Carolina Hurricanes.
