Why Connor Hellebuyck is a perfect fit for the Devils

The Boston Bruins are quietly sitting atop the Atlantic Division standings, once again defying the logic of their eventual decline. The Athletic’s own Fluto Shinzawa joins the show to discuss how the Bruins have gotten off to their great start. Before that, the guys break down why Connor Hellebuyck is in a perfect spot with the New Jersey Devils and talk about Connor McDavid unbelievably upping his points pace from last week, now projecting for 252 over 84 games. Plus, a look into Flames goalie Devin Cooley’s incredible postgame interviews and his approach to the mental side of goaltending to close things out.
