Yesterday, we discussed a decision the New Jersey Devils should contemplate in goal tonight when they visit the New York Rangers on Broadway. It stirred up some mixed feelings, but a deeper look into the numbers is quite convincing. No one is giving up on Jacob Markstrom, but perhaps a few less reps would do the Swedish netminder some good.
And if you think the Devils’ loss on Saturday was on Jake Allen, you’re sorely mistaken. Yes, he made a mistake on Washington’s sixth goal, but the Devils’ issues ran far deeper which resulted in the loss to their division rival.
More on the goalie decision in the links.
Elsewhere, a former Devils forward is out long-term, more Colorado Avalanche trade action is ahead, and the latest on the New York Rangers trade situation.
Let’s do that hockey.
