VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Cody Glass had two goals and an assist, Lenni Hameenaho scored his first NHL goal and the New Jersey Devils beat the Vancouver Canucks 5-4 on Friday night to extend their Western Canada winning streak to three.
Nico Hischier and Connor Brown also scored for New Jersey. Jacob Markstrom made 21 saves.
Linus Karlsson, Teddy Blueger, Zeev Buium and Brock Boeser scored for Vancouver, and Kevin Lankinen stopped 19 shots.
New Jersey went 2 for 3 on the power play. The Canucks were 0 for 2 and have gone four games without a power-play goal.
Hameenaho scored on a goalmouth tap-in at 1:41 of the first.
In the second, Hischier and Glass made it 3-0 with goals 40 seconds apart. Six minutes later, Karlsson put the Canucks on the board.
Then with Conor Garland serving a double-minor for high-sticking Hischier, Blueger scored short-handed before Brown replied.
With 1:48 left in the second, Buium pulled the puck out of a crowd and found the net to cut it to 4-3.
In the third, Glass added his second of the night. Boeser scored with 1:12 remaining and Lankinen off for an extra attacker.
