Keith Kinkaid went old school for his mask this season.

The New Jersey Devils goalie's new helmet is painted with 8-bit graphics featuring the team's logo and his signature Tasmanian Devil on top.

The mask, designed and painted by David Gunnarsson of DaveArt, harkens back to the early age of video games, with a pixelated Devils logo on each side. Taz has become a staple on Kinkaid's masks, and the legendary Looney Toons character is front and center on this year's model.
The Devils helped Kinkaid unveil the mask when he received it earlier this week, and he debuted it in the Devils preseason game against the New York Islanders on Thursday.
