The New Jersey Devils are off to a mediocre season, sitting at 9-9-1 on the year and near the bottom of the Metro division. However, they are on the verge of being a competitive playoff team, if they can fill the gap in their roster between the pipes.
NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman has just revealed that the Devils are looking to do just that, looking at acquiring a goaltender this year.
NHL Trade Rumors has reported that the Devils are looking at three goaltenders specifically, Jake Allen, Carter Hart, and Yaroslav Askarov.
Last season, the Devils made a push past the first round of the playoffs, beating out the New York Rangers in a stunning first-round bout. However, it became clear that in order to be a true contender, they would need to make some changes and bolster their roster. It now appears they are looking to do so.
