The Devils are not going to sneak up on anybody this season, but their goaltender might.
While bettors who took a shot on the Devils in the futures market in 2022-23 were provided with plenty of bang for their buck thanks to the long shot prices, the expectations in Newark are much higher for the new campaign and that means the prices are a lot shorter.
But for those who are looking for a long shot on the Devils that is still tied to the team’s success, look no further than goaltender Vitek Vanecek to win the Vezina Trophy at 150/1 in his career.
The Devils are one of the favorites to win the Presidents’ Trophy and he’s likely to start most of their games.Vanecek has a realistic shot at leading the circuit in wins, which is a big factor in taking home this award.
