Vanecek won his fifth straight start his last time out, stopping 27 of 30 shots (.900 SV%) in a 4-3 victory over Calgary. With Mackenzie Blackwood now on the injured reserve, the Devils' crease is now Vanecek's alone, as he holds a 5-1-0 record with a .908 SV% and 2.20 GAA. He takes on the Calgary Flames who are on the second of a back-to-back and are on a downward spiral after losing their fifth straight game in overtime 4-3 Monday to NYI.
