Vanecek was a big part of the early season success for the Devils when the group went on a run of 13-straight victories between Oct. 25 and Nov. 21. The netminder had a string of 10 straight wins over the run, to set a new career-high. He well surpassed his total minutes from the year prior with the Washington Capitals, on the ice for 2,915:34 minutes, compared to his 2,317:23.
