Kinkaid was known as one of the more active Devils players on social media, and created his fan-favorite Kinkode, which made its debut on October 7, 2017.

It's become a tradition after a Devils victory for the netminder to tweet congratulating and acknowledging his teammates.

During the 2017-18 season, Kinkaid helped the Devils to their first post-season appearance since 2012. He played in 41 games during the regular season, earning 26 wins in 38 starts. During the 2018-19 season, he played in 41 games, earning 15 wins in 38 starts.
Over his six seasons as a Devil, he played in 151 games, starting in 132 matchups, and posted a 64-55-17 record. Although Kinkaid won't be backstopping for New Jersey any longer, Devils fans will forever cherish his post-victory tweets with his Kinkode congratulations to Devils teammates.
