NEWARK, N.J. -- Zeev Buium had a goal and an assist in his debut with the Vancouver Canucks in a 2-1 win against the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center on Sunday.

Nice debut in a first power play deployment and second pairing with Tyler Myers. Buium, the 14th overall selection by the Minnesota Wild in the 2024 NHL Draft, logged 19:50, had two shots and five attempts. He’s the first defenceman in franchise history to record multiple points in the first period of his debut.

The Vancouver Canucks are 1-0 in the post-Quinn Hughes era after a 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils. Jake DeBrusk scored with the man advantage, while Zeev Buium's power play goal in the first served as the winner. As for Thatcher Demko, he was Vancouver's best player as he stopped 25 of the 26 shots he faced while also picking up an assist.

The Vancouver Canucks acquired Marco Rossi, Zeev Buium, Liam Öhgren and a 2026 first-round pick in exchange for Quinn Hughes on Friday night, and General Manager Patrik Allvin met with the media to discuss the trade.
