Devils Goalie Problem or Defense Problem? Allen, Daws & Hellebuyck Ft. Keith Kavanaugh | Devils Rink Report

Tuesday, October 20, 2026 • Duration 48:11

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.
