You are correct.
Brody Hoffman was the backup goalie in all three of McDonald's starts this season.
The net in Addy is McDonald's no question, although you will probably see a Devils goalie get a start every once in a while because they have a agreement with the Flames to use the Thunder from time to time, and they also have a log jam of goalies with Kinkaid backing up Schneider in the NHL and Wedgewood, Blackwood and Appleby all needing to share the net in Albany.
