What was said

Bruce Boudreau doesn’t have any time for the back to back excuse.

“I don’t get the whole back to back thing ,why it’s tiring,” said Boudreau per Mike Morreale of NHL.Com. “That excuse goes out the window.”

The Canucks coach also spoke about Halak’s poor play.

“We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it,” said Boudreau per Thomas Drance of The Athletic. “I’m concerned because the last two times he’s started he’s been pulled. When the sixth one went in he looked like he was a beaten man.”

Conor Garland spoke about how his team needed to play better in front of Halak.

“We didn’t match their speed,” said Garland. “Got down quick. Unacceptable in a game like this.”

Advanced stat of the night

High danger Corsi for percentages were 66.67% for the Devils (Funny how 666 was part of the number for a team called the Devils. ) and only 33.33% for the Canucks
