Injuries Piling Up for the New Jersey Devils

Season Marred by Injuries

The New Jersey Devils have had a difficult start to the 2023-24 season, with a slew of injuries affecting their roster. Head coach Lindy Ruff provided an update on Monday, detailing the status of several injured players.

The most recent addition to the injury list is goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood, who sustained a sprained MCL. Forward Nolan Foote is also on the mend, recovering from an undisclosed injury.

Impact on the Roster

The injuries have had a significant impact on the Devils' lineup. With Blackwood sidelined, Akira Schmid has taken over as the starting goaltender. Foote's absence has left a hole on the wing.

Despite the challenges, the Devils have remained competitive, with a 15-14-3 record heading into the Christmas break. However, they will need to get healthy soon if they want to make a push for a playoff spot.
