The Devils find themselves on the precipice of clinching the playoffs (magic number is four as of Wednesday) for the first time since 2018. The Devils are also in a battle for the top spot in the Metro Division, though time may be against them in that respect. Nonetheless, it's a remarkable place to be mid-March for a team that netted the second-overall pick in the NHL Draft just a season ago.
But it was a season ago (coincidentally starting at the Draft) that began the Devils' upward trajectory. Though many factors are involved in the team's rapid ascent - such as personal player development, coaching changes, etc. - it was kick started in the summer in the form of three new additions.
In today's edition of Three Thing, presented by Geico, we look at those three players and how they've panned out.
With injuries incurred to Mackenzie Blackwood, Vanecek has carried the load. He has already set career highs in every category from games played (45), minutes (2,530), wins (29), goal-against average (2.49) and save percentage (.908). He's one win shy of hitting 30 for the first time in his career.
Vanecek, 27, was named the Second Star for the month of November after going 8-1 with a 2.13 GAA and .930 save percentage. He allowed two or fewer goals in seven on his 10 appearances.
Vanecek won 10 straight games from Dec. 30 to Feb. 6 and nine straight from Oct. 25 to Nov. 21. The 6-foot-2, 184-pound netminder also posted stretches of 15-1-1 and 12-1-1.
And of course, he's become a fan favorite with chants of "Vi-Tek! Vi-Tek!" during games. Thanks in part to his spectacular play on ice and quirky personality off.

Reviews for "The Backyardigans' Magic Skateboard: Where Imagination Takes Flight"
1. Maria - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with "Backyardigabs the magic skateboard". The animation was subpar and the storyline was weak. It felt like they were trying to cash in on the popularity of skateboarding without putting much effort into the actual content. Overall, I found it boring and unimpressive.
2. John - 1/5 stars - "Backyardigabs the magic skateboard" is a complete waste of time. The characters are annoying and the plot is nonsensical. I couldn't make it through more than 10 minutes before I had to turn it off. I don't understand how this even got made. Save yourself the agony and avoid this one.
3. Emily - 2/5 stars - I had such high hopes for "Backyardigabs the magic skateboard" but was let down. The dialogue was cheesy and the voice acting was grating. The whole movie felt like a cheap attempt to sell merchandise rather than create a quality animated film. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable movie experience.
4. David - 2/5 stars - "Backyardigabs the magic skateboard" is forgettable at best. The jokes fell flat and the songs were forgettable. The concept of a magic skateboard had potential, but it wasn't executed well. I wouldn't watch it again and wouldn't recommend it to others. There are much better children's animated movies out there.
