Devils GM Sunny Mehta says he's comfortable with goaltending situation
New Jersey Devils general manager Sunny Mehta says he's comfortable with the team's goaltending position after trading Jacob Markstrom over the summer and handing the starting job to Jake Allen. Young Nico Daws and journeyman David Rittich are in the mix for the backup job. The Devils are among the teams that have been linked to three-time Vezina Trophy-winning goalie Connor Hellebuyck, whose trade request out of Winnipeg is one of the biggest storylines in the NHL.
The Devils are looking to return to the playoffs after missing out last season.
