BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
Is it a Devils goalie problem, or a problem in front of the goalies? And is Connor Hellebuyck the fix?Keith Kavanaugh of PuckPedia and The Devils Edge joins James Nichols on Devils Rink Report to sort it out.
The New Jersey Devils are 4-4-0 and have outshot every opponent so far, 280-200, while Jake Allen (.876) and Nico Daws (.857) have struggled in net. Keith walks through the goals against in Washington, explains why Rémi Poirier isn't getting a look, and says why he doesn't see Sunny Mehta's front office spending big in goal, in cap space or in trade assets, with the Devils at $77,077 in cap space and Hellebuyck's suspension ending Fri Oct 23.
James and Keith also get into the Devils' missing second layer of offense, the power play, Connor Brown's return and the roster crunch at 23, and whether Sheldon Keefe's seat is warming up eight games in.
Then James goes solo: a Devils vs. Colorado Avalanche preview (Tue Oct 20, 7 PM ET, Prudential Center), Elliotte Friedman's report on Brenden Dillon's no-trade clause, the Utica Comets' start, Timo Meier's first goal, and Arseny Gritsyuk's fit with Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt.
