GDT: Kings @ Devils - 7:00 PM - MSG

I don't think it's a concern at all, when healthy, but obviously if we lose any of Bratt, Nico, or Jack for a length of time the Devils will become a middle of the pack scoring team.

Also they have clearly sacrificed some offense for defense. If the goaltending can just be average, this team is going to win a ton of games with an above-average offense and defense.

I think it would be a concern in the playoffs if Palat remains the 3rd on Jack/Bratt line - but yea regular season we would be fine.

I think that once we start stringing together more of these elite defensive performances and the players show Keefe that he can truly trust them in high leverage situations, he will give guys the green light to push the offense a little more. He's clearly trying to make a point.

It could also just be goaltending PTSD from Keefe's eyes too, the guy had next to nothing in Toronto for most of his tenure there.
