New Jersey Devils goalie Keith Kinkaid was handed the largest workload of his young NHL career last season when Cory Schneider went down with an injury and he did not disappoint. In 41 appearances, Kinkaid posted a 26-10-3 and one shutout to go with a 2.77 goals against average and a .913 save percentage.

With Schneider still questionable for the start of the regular season, it’s looking like Kinkaid is going to get another shot to earn the job as the everyday starter this season and he’s going to have a sweet new mask while doing so.



Designed by Dave Gunnarsson, Kinkaid’s 8-bit mask for the 2018-19 season is one that just about fan will enjoy, even if they aren’t fans of the Devils.



We’re actually a little shocked that Kinkaid didn’t go with an all emoji mask for the 2018-19 season after he became a hit on Twitter last year with his emoji-heavy tweets.
