Sometimes, the head coach is the scapegoat for an underperforming NHL team.

The New Jersey Devils are finally getting healthy. With Erik Haula joining the lineup for Tuesday night’s game vs the Vancouver Canucks, it is going to be the healthiest they have been since training camp.

With Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier, and Timo Meier all firmly back now, they need to start winning games. If they continue this up-and-down trajectory while they are healthy, they might consider making a coaching change.

Lindy Ruff has been good with New Jersey. However, if they don’t perform the way that everyone believes that they should, he might be the one who takes the heat for it.

This is the plan-z level change to save the season. It is not something that should be considered right now but it is a change that could be used if necessary.

At the end of the day, the Devils just need to win. They have some great players that can get this team back to their winning ways. Hopefully, it will happen without many huge changes that cost people their jobs.
