As the NHL season progresses, several teams are facing tough decisions regarding their goaltending situations. The New Jersey Devils, for instance, have been dealing with inconsistency in net, and with Mackenzie Blackwood's struggles, they may be exploring the market for a reliable starter. The recent performances have raised questions about whether they can contend for a playoff spot if their goaltending issues persist.
Meanwhile, the Columbus Blue Jackets find themselves in a similar predicament. With both Elvis Merzlikins and Joonas Korpisalo battling injuries and inconsistent play, the team may seek to bring in a fresh face to stabilize their net and improve their chances this season. Any potential goalie acquisition would aim to bolster their playoff aspirations.
Finally, the Arizona Coyotes are heavily invested in their young goaltending prospects but could consider a veteran presence to guide their development. With Karel Vejmelka showing flashes of promise, having an experienced goalie could not only help the team on the ice but also mentor the up-and-coming players, setting a foundation for long-term success.
