Markstrom will tend the twine for Friday's Global Series matchup with Buffalo, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom will make his Devils debut after being acquired via trade from the Flames in the offseason. The veteran backstop failed to reach the 25-win mark in either of the previous two campaigns but is expected to significantly improve on those results with a stronger team around him in New Jersey. With Markstrom getting the nod Friday, it figures to be Jake Allen between the pipes for Saturday's clash with the Sabres.
