Vanecek is one of 13 NHL netminders with 17, or more, wins this season.

Nico Daws was recalled from Utica (AHL) on Dec. 27, while Akira Schmid was assigned to Utica (AHL) on Dec. 28.

Daws earned his first-career NHL point, after he was credited with the secondary assist on N. Hischier’s first goal of the game on Jan. 3.  Daws is the third different Devils netminder who earned a points/assist this season: A. Schmid (0g-2a) and V. Vanecek (0g-1a).

The 2023-24 campaign marks the fourth time in franchise history that three, or more, netminders recorded a point in a single season for the Devils:

1987-88: A. Chevrier, S. Burke, B. Suave

1982-83: G. Resch, R. Low, L. Middlebrook, S. MacKenzie

1974-75: P. McDuffe, D. Herron, M. Plasse

Vanecek’s 91 career wins ranks eighth all-time for Czechia-born netminders. Michal Neuvirth ranks seventh with 105 career wins.

Nico Daws logged his first start on Mon., Feb. 12 and since Jan. 25, at Carolina. The youngster recorded 27 saves on 28 shots against Seattle and collected fourth win for 2023-24.

Daws then started on consecutive games, and in a back-to-back set, after earning the win against Nashville on Tuesday on the road.

Daws has started in three consecutive games for the Devils and has stopped 84 of 89 shots (.944 save%).
