INJURIES

Falls into deep early hole Vanecek posted 26 saves on 30 shots in a 4-3 loss against the Panthers.
Impact Vanecek allowed a goal just 3:54 into the game, and it was 4-0 early in the third period before the Devils were finally able to respond. He has allowed seven total goals in 65 shots in his two starts to date. He and the Devils will look to bounce back on the road against the Islanders on Friday night.

Picks up season-opening win Vanecek stopped 32 of 35 shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.
Impact After holding Detroit to one goal on 25 shots in the first two periods, Vanecek allowed a pair of goals in the final frame, but the Devils would ultimately hang on for a one-goal victory. The 27-year-old Vanecek is coming off a strong 2022-23 campaign, where he went 33-11-4 with a .911 save percentage. He should serve as New Jersey's primary goaltender again this year, though Akira Schmid could eventually see a larger share of the workload.

Starting versus Detroit Vanecek will get the home start versus Detroit on Thursday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Impact Vanecek was the No. 1 goaltender with the Devils last season, but was challenged at the end of the year by Akira Schmid. Vanecek has an outstanding season in 2022-23, going 33-11-4 with a 2.45 GAA and .911 save percentage. Look for a big season from Vanecek and the Devils in 2023-24.
OCTOBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Set to start Tuesday Vanecek will protect the home goal in Tuesday's Game 4 versus the Hurricanes, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
Impact Vanecek picked up his first win in six playoff appearances when he stopped 26 of 30 shots in Sunday's Game 3. That wasn't exactly a convincing performance, but it was enough to earn him another starting nod. The 27-year-old has a 4.02 GAA and an .845 save percentage this postseason.
MAY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Pulled in Game 4 Vanecek allowed five goals on 17 shots before being pulled from New Jersey's 6-1 loss to Carolina in Game 4 on Tuesday.
Impact Vanecek was pulled after allowing a marker to Brent Burns midway through the second period. Akira Schmid stepped in and saved 11 of 12 shots the rest of the way. Vanecek has a 4.64 GAA and an .825 save percentage in seven playoff contests this year. Given his struggles, it wouldn't be surprising to see Akira Schmid start in Game 5 on Thursday.

Tending twine Sunday Vanecek will get the starting nod for Sunday's Game 3 matchup at home against the Hurricanes, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Impact Vanecek will make his first start since Game 2 of the first round against the Rangers. He's stopped 18 of 21 shots in two relief appearances this series and will now be leaned on to bring the Devils back from a 2-0 deficit. In five appearances this postseason, Vanecek is 0-2 with an .836 save percentage.
MAY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Grabs first win of the playoffs Vanecek stopped 26 of 30 shots in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Hurricanes in Game 3.
Impact Vanecek was certainly aided by New Jersey's offense in Sunday's victory, grabbing the win in his first start since Game 3 of the Devils' opening-round series against the Rangers. The 27-year-old Vanecek is now 1-2-0 with a subpar .845 save percentage in the playoffs. Still, there's a good chance the Devils will turn back to Vanecek in Game 4 after he replaced Akira Schmid in the first two games of the series.
MAY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Allows two goals in relief Vanecek stopped eight of 10 shots in relief in a 6-1 loss to Carolina in Game 2 on Friday.
Impact Vanecek came into the contest for the start of the third period after Akira Schmid surrendered four goals on 25 shots. Vanecek wasn't charged with the loss, so his playoff record is still at 0-2 this year. He also has a 4.03 GAA and an .836 save percentage through five postseason outings. Even though Vanecek has struggled, he might start Sunday given that Schmid was pulled from each of the first two games of the series.
MAY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Makes 10 stops in relief Vanecek stopped 10 of 11 shots in relief against the Hurricanes in Wednesday's 5-1 Game 1 loss.
Impact Vanecek entered early in the second period after the third goal against Akira Schmid, who was charged with the loss. Schmid has all four of New Jersey's wins this postseason, but both goalies are realistic options to start Game 2 on Friday.
MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Briefly in net Saturday Although Vanecek didn't face a shot, he was briefly in net during New Jersey's 5-2 loss to the Rangers in Game 6 on Saturday.
Impact With the Devils down 5-1 after Braden Schneider scored midway through the third frame, starter Akira Schmid was replaced by Vanecek. The Devils soon pulled Vanecek too in favor of the extra attacker, so the goaltender only logged 2:18 of ice time. The 27-year-old wasn't charged with the loss and has a 0-2 record, 4.43 GAA and .827 save percentage in three playoff appearances this year. Although Schmid struggled Saturday, he has been great overall in the first round, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him start over Vanecek in Game 7 on Monday.
APRIL 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Looking to rebound in Game 2 Vanecek will protect the home goal in Thursday's Game 2 versus the Rangers.
Impact Vanecek struggled in Game 1, surrendering four goals on 22 shots in a 5-1 loss. The Devils will need the 27-year-old to recapture his regular-season form, which saw him post a 2.45 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 52 games, to avoid heading to Broadway down 2-0 in the series.
APRIL 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
No chance for rebound Vanecek made 25 saves in a 5-1 loss to the Rangers on Thursday in Game 2.
Impact Vanecek had hoped to rebound from a poor outing Tuesday in Game 1, but that didn't happen. The Devils had to kill 10 penalties (two PPG allowed), so the team simply couldn't muster much momentum or flow. So Vanecek had far more pressure on him than one person should have. He will need to be near-perfect heading into Madison Square this weekend for Game 3.
APRIL 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Gives up four in Game 1 loss Vanecek stopped 18 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 Game 1 loss to the Rangers.
Impact Vanecek probably should have had the short-side Ryan Lindgren goal that made it 3-0 in the second period, but it's hard to blame him for any of the Rangers' other goals. New York blitzed New Jersey early with two goals in the first 10 minutes, and the Devils never really had a chance after that, with Filip Chytil's empty-netter putting an exclamation point on the Rangers' performance. Vanecek wasn't the problem in Game 1, so he'll likely be back behind the pipes over Mackenzie Blackwood for Game 2 on Thursday.
APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Slated to start Per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site, Vanecek is on track to guard the home goal in Tuesday's Game 1 versus the Rangers.
Impact Vanecek ended the regular season on a high note, stringing together three straight wins while posting an impressive 1.33 GAA and .949 save percentage. He'll try to secure his second career playoff victory in a home matchup with a Rangers team that averaged 3.24 goals per game on the road during the regular season, 11th in the NHL.

Devils hoping Palat regains Stanley Cup magic for playoffs

The New Jersey Devils hoped they would be where they are now when they signed Ondrej Palat to a five-year, $30 million contract in the offseason
APRIL 15, 2023 • Associated Press
Will be scratched Thursday Vanecek (rest) won't dress for Thursday's game against Washington, according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
Impact The Devils are expected to lean heavily on Vanecek during the playoffs, so they're giving him a breather before that starts. Mackenzie Blackwood will be in net Thursday while Akira Schmid, who was summoned from AHL Utica, will serve as the backup goaltender. The contest against Washington is the Devils' regular-season finale, so Vanecek will finish the 2022-23 campaign with a 33-11-4 record, 2.45 GAA and .911 save percentage in 52 outings.

Devils clinch home ice for playoffs; end Sabres hopes

Tomas Tatar had two goals and an assist and the New Jersey Devils clinched home-ice advantage for the first round of the playoffs and ended Buffalo’s postseason hopes with a 6-2 vi...
APRIL 12, 2023 • Associated Press
Exits ice first Vanecek was the first goalie off the ice Tuesday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll guard the crease at home versus the Sabres.
Impact Vanecek has posted a 3-2-0 record with a 2.16 GAA and .917 save percentage in his last five contests. In each of the netminder's victories, he has given up just one goal and will look to carry that momentum forward into Tuesday's clash with Buffalo. With the postseason around the corner, it's possible that Mackenzie Blackwood starts the regular-season finale versus Washington on Thursday before Vanecek takes over as the primary backstop for the playoffs.
APRIL 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sharp again in win Vanecek stopped 36 of 38 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.
Impact Vanecek delivered another strong performance Tuesday, allowing two goals on 38 shots en route to a third consecutive win. The 27-year-old netminder has allowed just four goals during those three games as he improves to 33-11-4 with a .911 save percentage this season. Vanecek could make one more start in the Devils' season finale Thursday against the Capitals.
APRIL 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Solid in victory Vanecek stopped 16 of 17 shots, leading the Devils to an 8-1 victory over the Blue Jackets on Thursday.
Impact Vanecek had a solid outing Thursday, only giving up a goal to Joona Luoto to help New Jersey to an 8-1 win. This marks back-to-back victories and three in his last four starts for Vanecek, allowing just one goal in all three of those wins. On the season, the former Capital has a 32-11-4 record with a 2.46 GAA and a .910 save percentage.
