In his post-game comments, Hughes explained that they managed to win the tight game against the Kraken because the goalies made the saves.
Here's what he said:
The Devils' goaltenders have been struggling all season, which explains the team's rough start. Hughes developed on the subject later in the interview:
Indeed, only one goalie in Jersey has a SV% over .900 and none of them keep a GAA under 3.15.
They're currently fourth in the Metro Division, but are closely followed by the Capitals, the Penguins and the Islanders. If the goalies are able to play with a bith more consistency, the team could make it to the playoffs this season.
