Lenni Hameenaho, Nico Hischier and Connor Brown also scored for the Devils (27-22-2). Former Canuck Jacob Markstrom earned the win in goal, making 21 saves.
Linus Karlsson, Teddy Blueger, Zeev Buium and Conor Garland replied for the Canucks (17-29-5). Kevin Lankinen took the netminding loss, stopping 19 of 24 shots.
The Devils opened the scoring 1:41 into the game, when Hameenaho tallied his first NHL goal. A point shot from Simon Nemec rebounded off the back boards, and Hameenaho knocked it past Lankinen.
Shots after one period favoured the Devils, 8-4.
New Jersey extended their lead to 2-0 on a power play 2:34 into the second period, when Hischier converted a nice saucer pass from Jack Hughes for his 16th goal of the year.
Just 40 seconds later, Glass made it 3-0 with a nifty between-the-legs deflection of a Hameenaho point shot. Glass now has 12 goals on the season.
Vancouver got on the board at 9:47, when Karlsson potted his 11th of the year, slotting home a rebound of a Nils Hoglander shot.
At 11:59, the Canucks pulled within one, when Blueger scored a shorthanded marker, his second goal of the year, finishing off a 3-on-1 feed from Drew O’Connor and firing a shot over the right pad of Markstrom.
The Devils restored their two-goal lead at 15:12, when Arseny Gritsyuk found Brown open in the slot, and he ripped home his 10th of the year.
Here comes the BUIUM!
