Devils at Crossroads with Keefe's Future

The New Jersey Devils stand at a crossroads as Coach Sheldon Keefe’s job hangs in the balance, with playoff hopes riding on player health and a potentially less stacked Eastern Conference. General Manager Sunny Mehta is giving Keefe a chance—but also eyeing a dramatic change, possibly bringing in John Tortorella as a playoff “closer” to ignite the team. Tortorella’s track record in Vegas, where he led them to the Stanley Cup Final after replacing Bruce Cassidy, proves a mid-season shift can deliver results. With key players like Jack Hughes returning and Mehta’s willingness to act, the Devils may pivot to Tortorella if the season turns sour—while Cassidy, the man who replaced Tortorella in Vegas, could be an unexpected long-term option if the Devils need a full rebuild.
