Mike Morreale: Devils coach Sheldon Keefe on goaltender Jake Allen’s cramping: “You’re making sure you’re doing the right things. But I’d say I’m not concerned simply because it’s not new. Jake has dealt with it his entire career and managed it. Last season, it was a thing as wel,l but it didn’t affect his play. I would expect he’d bounce back. It’s something very common with goalies. Lot of people don’t know it, but for the most part, he’s got a pretty good handle on it. So we look at it as a bit of a one-off at this point.”
