Devils Daily: Scary Shesterkin Injury; Keefe Hot Seat? Concern in Jersey?

James Nichols examines early-season worries for the New Jersey Devils after a 1-2 start, alongside Igor Shesterkin's concerning injury. Despite some analysts questioning head coach Sheldon Keefe's job security, Nichols maintains a low level of personal concern, noting the team has controlled play despite finishing and goaltending struggles. Elsewhere in the league, New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin exited a game unable to put weight on his right leg.

In roster moves, Stefan Noesen cleared waivers and was assigned to the AHL's Utica Comets, freeing up cap room for New Jersey. Meanwhile, the Montreal Canadiens traded defenseman Jayden Struble to the Nashville Predators for a 2027 second-round pick, and the Florida Panthers confirmed Brad Marchand faces six weeks on the sidelines due to a knee injury.
