Guarding cage Sunday Vanecek will start in Chicago on Sunday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

Impact Vanecek is riding a three-game win streak but he's registered a lackluster .884 save percentage during that run. On the year, he's 5-2-0 despite a 3.21 GAA and an .893 save percentage. Vanecek has stopped a combined 54 of 59 shots while winning both of his road starts entering Sunday.

Wins despite allowing three goals Vanecek turned aside 22 of 25 shots in a 5-3 win over Minnesota on Thursday.

Impact Vanecek earned his third straight win despite allowing 10 goals over that span. He has a 3.21 GAA and an .893 save percentage in seven contests this year, but that's still been good enough for a 5-2-0 record. Thanks to the Devils' top-tier offense -- they're averaging 4.22 goals per game -- Vanecek is likely to continue to rack up the wins even if he continues his subpar play.

Receives third straight start Vanecek will protect the road goal versus the Wild on Thursday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Vanecek has solidified his spot atop the depth chart with three wins in his last four outings. He's allowed 11 goals over that span, with the lone loss coming in a relief appearance after a poor game from Akira Schmid. Vanecek's 3.24 GAA and .895 save percentage are nothing special, but he'll likely continue to see most of the starts as long as he keeps winning.

Impact It was a solid outing from Vanecek after he allowed six goals on 43 shots over his previous two appearances. The 27-year-old netminder improved to 4-2-0 with an .895 save percentage on the season. Vanecek will likely be back between the pipes for a road rematch with the Wild on Thursday.

Tending twine Sunday Vanecek will be stationed between the pipes at home against the Wild on Sunday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Vanecek will make his fourth straight appearance for the Devils, with three of those being starts. The 27-year-old is 2-1-0 despite allowing eight goals on 72 shots over his last three outings. On the year, Vanecek has registered an .891 save percentage while going 3-2-0.

Yields four goals in win Vanecek stopped 23 of 27 shots in Friday's 5-4 win over the Sabres.

Impact Vanecek let a couple of one-goal leads slip away, but he made a third one stand over the last 5:43 of the game. The 27-year-old has gone 3-2-0 with 15 goals allowed on 137 shots over five appearances this season. Akira Schmid has struggled in the backup role, but it's unclear if Vanecek will be able to string some starts together after the Devils have alternated their goalies in the early going. They're back in action Sunday at home versus the Wild.

Set to start Friday Vanecek is expected to be in goal at home versus the Sabres on Friday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Vanecek has been less than stellar to open the season, sporting a 2-2-0 record, 3.10 GAA and .900 save percentage. Still, the 27-year-old Czech is unlikely to concede the starting job to Akira Schmid right out of the gate after putting up 33 wins in 52 games last season. Vanecek should have plenty of leash to get his game in order.

Takes loss in relief outing Vanecek surrendered two goals on 16 shots in relief of Akira Schmid in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Vanecek stabilized the Devils in the second period, allowing them to flip a 3-0 deficit into a 4-3 lead. The Capitals answered back in the third, putting two goals past Vanecek and one more into an empty net to leave the 27-year-old with his second loss in four outings. He's given up 11 goals on 110 shots so far, performing noticeably better than Schmid but still below the league average. The Devils have alternated starts with their goalies, so Vanecek would be in line for Friday's game versus the Sabres if that pattern holds, and if he can get hot, he could end up as a true No. 1 rather than a tandem goalie.

Sharp in second win Vanecek made 27 saves in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Vanecek put together his best performance of the young season while also getting the most offensive support he's seen in three outings. The 27-year-old netminder has somewhat surprisingly been alternating starts with Akira Schmid so far, going 2-1-0 with a .904 save percentage, but more efforts like this could begin to tip the playing-time split in Vanecek's favor.
