Kinkaid allowed four goals on 25 shots in the Devils loss to the Rangers last Thursday. Kinkaid has given up at least three goals in six straight games, going 1-5-0 with a 3.71 GAA and .891 SV% over that span. The only thing going for Kinkaid tonight is a matchup with the second-lowest scoring team in the NHL, who played last night.
