3 Standouts From Game #6: Devils 4, Canucks 1

The New Jersey Devils defeated the Vancouver Canucks 4-1 at the Prudential Center, with Linus Karlsson netting Vancouver’s lone goal early in the first period on the power play after a brief shift by Elias Pettersson. Karlsson’s tally was his first of the 2026‑27 season and pushed his point total to five in six games, and he also drew a penalty when Anthony Mantha hooked him.

Jake DeBrusk led the Canucks in shot attempts, registering seven attempts while logging 17:15 of ice time, and his line with Pettersson and Jonathan Lekkerimäki generated the team’s highest volume of scoring chances with seven, including five high‑danger opportunities. Goaltender Leevi Meriläinen faced 34 shots, stopping 31 for a .929 save percentage and a 2.18 GAA, despite having to leave the ice twice because a hard shot knocked the blade off his skate.
