After their latest loss, New Jersey Devils head coach Sheldon Keefe appeared to throw GM Tom Fitzgerald under the bus with his comments after the game.
It's been a struggle for the New Jersey Devils lately, who were completely humiliated against the divisional foe New York Islanders, earlier in the week with a 9-0 loss at UBS Arena.
Goaltender Jacob Markstrom was in net for all nine goals against and later apologized to Devils fans for the horrid performance.
The Devils followed that up with a 4-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins last night, and are now 3-6-1 in their last 10 total games and have fallen to sixth place in the Metropolitan division.
After the 4-1 loss to the Penguins, head coach Keefe appeared to throw Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald under the bus with his comments when answering a question about his job security.
It's out of my hands. It's not in my control. ... I know what this team needs, how to get them going, but I'm also aware of the reality of the business and how it works.
We've got work to do to become a real hockey team. There was a perception that we were a real hockey team before the work was put in. - Sheldon Keefe

Devils Defenseman Luke Hughes Recently Suffered The Wrath Of Fans
The 9-0 loss to the Islanders and the 4-1 loss to the Penguins all followed a 3-1 loss at Prudential Center to the Carolina Hurricanes.
During the game, defenseman Luke Hughes suffered the wrath of angry Devils fans after he accidentally put the puck in his own net for a Hurricanes goal past Jake Allen.
He then mishandled the puck in front of his own net, which eventually led to another Hurricanes goal.
It's a struggle for the Devils right now, who are in serious danger of dropping out of the playoff race if they don't improve.
