Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Earns 100th NHL win

Demko made 21 saves Saturday in a 6-4 win over the Devils.

It was Demko's 100th career NHL victory. He also surpassed Jacob Markstrom for sole possession of fifth on the Vancouver win list. The Canucks were convincing early, building a 3-0 lead in the second period, but the team sat back a little bit too much after taking a 5-2 advantage early in the third. The Devils made it interesting when Colin Miller and Nico Hischier scored 1:47 apart to make it 5-4. A Devils power-play at 16:49 could have been disastrous, but the Canucks killed it off and scored an empty-netter to ease the pressure.
