In his NHL debut, Zeev Buium made a lasting impression, scoring a goal and assisting another in the first period. The Vancouver Canucks secured a narrow 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Sunday, with Buium becoming the first Canucks defenseman to record a multi-point opening period. Buium's impressive performance was part of a trade that saw the Canucks acquire him, along with forwards Marco Rossi and Liam Ohgren, from the Minnesota Wild. In exchange, the team sent captain Quinn Hughes to the Wild. Conor Garland also played a crucial role, contributing two assists for the Canucks. The win marked the Canucks' third success in their past 12 games. Thatcher Demko made 25 saves to secure the victory. Luke Hughes scored for the Devils, who had been on a two-game winning streak, and Jake DeBrusk gave the Canucks an early 1-0 lead with a power-play goal in the first period. Buium's second power-play goal came at 6:48, thanks to a pass from Garland. However, the Devils fought back, with Luke Hughes cutting the deficit in half in the second period. The Devils continued to pressure, outshooting the Canucks 13-6 in the second period and 8-1 in the third. Despite the Devils' efforts, the Canucks held on to secure the win. Buium's debut was an exciting start to his NHL career, and he will look to build on this performance in future games.
