The 2025-26 season has been rough on the New Jersey Devils, and that doesn't just include those coaching and playing at the NHL level. The prospects, especially the few playing in the AHL with the Utica Comets, haven't found things any better.
In the NCAA, top goalie prospect Mikhail Yegorov only recently started rebounding from a poor start to the season, while 2025 draft picks Ben Kevan and Conrad Fondrk have made negligible impacts playing for their respective schools.
On the bright side, though, one more goalie will be joining Yegorov in the rebound department - no goalie pun intended - after a brutal start of his own.
