Sachem’s Kinkaid Traded from Jersey to Columbus

Farmingville native heads to midwest in playoff hunt

Keith Kinkaid, a Sachem East grad, has been a New Jersey Devil since 2011, but was dealt on Monday to Columbus in a deadline day deal for a 2022 fifth round pick.

Kinkaid, who had a career season in 2018 with a 26-10 record, will provide additional depth in net for a Blue Jackets team with two strong goalies already on the roster.

“While we believe goaltending is a position of strength for our club with Sergei Bobrovsky and Joonas Korpisalo, we thought it was important to add depth to the position,” general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said in the official release. “Keith Kinkaid is an experienced National Hockey League goaltender who will provide that depth as we move through the final month of the regular season and into the spring.”
