JACOB MARKSTROM NEWS

Takes SO loss against former club Markstrom turned aside 25 shots in regulation and overtime and two of four shootout attempts in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Facing the team he spent six-plus seasons with earlier in his career, Markstrom saw a win slip through his fingers when Conor Garland got his stick on the puck during a mad scramble in the crease with just 36 seconds left in the third period. The 35-year-old netminder then got out-dueled in the shootout by Thatcher Demko. Markstrom has only one win in his last seven starts, going 1-5-1 with a 4.00 GAA and .843 save percentage in March.

Fades late in Thursday's loss Markstrom stopped 23 of 27 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Flames.

Impact The Devils took a 3-1 lead into the third period, but neither Markstrom nor the shorthanded defensive corps in front of him could rise to the occasion and make it stick. The 35-year-old netminder has dropped five of six decisions since returning from a knee injury at the beginning of March, stumbling to a 4.22 GAA and .833 save percentage over that stretch, but New Jersey's spot in the postseason still seems fairly secure -- the Devils sit eight points clear of the Rangers and Islanders, the teams on the Eastern Conference playoff bubble, with 12 games left on their schedule.

Gets starting nod Thursday Markstrom will be between the pipes at home against the Flames on Thursday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Markstrom has been struggling of late, going 1-4-0 with a 4.23 GAA and .829 save percentage in his last five outings. With the Swedish backstop underwhelming of late, the Devils may have to turn to Jake Allen more often down the stretch in order to keep their playoff hopes alive. As such, it's Allen who will get the nod at home versus Ottawa on Saturday.

Iced by Penguins Markstrom stopped 16 of 22 shots in Saturday's 7-3 loss to Pittsburgh, with the Penguins' seventh goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact The Devils didn't give their netminder much help, although Markstrom didn't exactly shine either. The 35-year-old netminder has lost four of five starts since returning from a knee injury, posting a rough 4.23 GAA and .828 save percentage over that stretch behind a blue line that's missing both Dougie Hamilton (lower body) and Jonas Siegenthaler (lower body).

Not busy in Tuesday's win Markstrom made 17 saves in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact New Jersey grabbed a 3-0 lead before the end of the first period, putting Columbus in a hole it couldn't climb out of -- Markstrom never faced more than eight shots in any frame. It's the netminder's first win in four starts since returning to the crease from a knee injury, and he hasn't looked particularly sharp in that time -- Markstrom's given up 15 goals on 100 shots for a rough .850 save percentage.

Facing Columbus Markstrom will patrol the home blue paint Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets, according to Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News.

Impact Markstrom has lost three consecutive games to start March -- he's 0-3-0 with an .850 save percentage and a 4.01 GAA in that span. Columbus has produced 3.33 goals per game in 2024-25, which ranks seventh in the NHL. Markstrom has a 4-3-0 record, .932 save percentage and 2.13 GAA over eight career outings against the Blue Jackets.

Concedes six goals Markstrom made 29 saves on 35 shots in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Jets.

Impact Markstrom started Friday's game off strong by allowing just one late goal in the first period. However, he experienced a collapse throughout the rest of the game by conceding five more tallies. The 35-year-old goaltender has a 21-12-5 record with a 2.34 GAA and a .907 save percentage. Markstrom is 0-3-0 in his three starts since his return from a knee injury. While Markstrom still seems to be shaking off some rust from the injury, he'll have a tougher task in New Jersey's net in the absence of Jack Hughes (shoulder) and Dougie Hamilton (lower-body). Markstrom's next opportunity to guard the crease is Sunday against the Flyers.
