Can Nico Daws become the New Jersey Devils' No. 1 goalie? Martin Brodeur believes he deserves the chance
The New Jersey Devils will enter the 2026-27 season without a clear No. 1 goaltender, but Hall-of-Fame goalie Martin Brodeur believes Nico Daws deserves a real chance to take the job. After moving Jacob Markstrom to the Florida Panthers, New Jersey has left the door open for a new starter to emerge.
Jake Allen and David Rittich are also in the mix, but Daws could have the biggest opportunity of his young NHL career. Brodeur, who serves as the Devils ’ executive vice president of hockey operations, believes the 25-year-old deserves an opportunity to show what he can do in the NHL.
