Devils' Goalie Woes Haunt Playoff Hopes
26 Jul
Summary
- Anthony Mantha's contract signing was expected due to past injury concerns.
- The Devils' lack of a clear starting goaltender is a major playoff concern.
- Relying on Dawes, Rittich, and Allen puts the Devils in a precarious situation.
The recent contract signing of Anthony Mantha has generated discussion, particularly regarding his injury history which likely impacted the length and value of his deal. Despite past concerns about availability, Mantha proved his ability by staying healthy and achieving a career-high in goals during a previous season.
Meanwhile, the New Jersey Devils are navigating their own challenges, having acquired Mantha and Evan Rodriguez. However, their most significant concern lies in their goaltending situation. The team currently has three goalies, a scenario described as having no reliable goaltender. This lack of a clear netminder is seen as a major impediment to their playoff aspirations.
