Markstrom will protect the home goal versus the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was in goal for the Devils' 5-1 win over the Panthers on Tuesday. That light workload will allow him to go again a day later. The Maple Leafs are sitting out three regulars for trade protection, so he'll draw a struggling team with a diminished lineup in this matchup, which could help Markstrom in his pursuit of a three-game winning streak for the first time all season.

Markstrom made 20 saves in a 5-1 win over the Panthers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom had to be sharp right out of the gate when his team started with a couple of ugly shifts. He's put up back-to-back wins with one goal allowed in each. The 36-year-old Swede is 17-14-1 with a 3.06 GAA and .888 save percentage in 33 appearances this season. Jake Allen's ratios are significantly better (2.61 GAA, .907 save percentage), but he's 12-15-1 in 29 outings. The Devils need wins, and Markstrom has a slight advantage.

Markstrom will tend the twine at home in Tuesday's tilt against the Panthers, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom's save percentage hasn't dipped below .915 in any of his last four outings, registering a combined .931 save percentage over that stretch. With just another four victories, the veteran netminder will reach the 20-win threshold for the ninth consecutive campaign. With Markstrom starting Tuesday, fantasy managers can expect Jake Allen to guard the cage at home versus the Leafs on Wednesday.

Markstrom stopped 25 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran netminder took a shutout into the third period, but Markstrom spoiled it himself by getting greedy -- he tried to go for the open St. Louis net with less than 90 seconds left, but his shot didn't get past Pavel Buchnevich, who eventually scored after Pius Suter retrieved the loose puck. Markstrom has given up three goals or fewer in eight of his last 10 starts, going 6-4-0 over that stretch with a 2.40 GAA and .906 save percentage.

EDGE Analysis
The game was tied 1-1 heading into the third period, but goals 50 seconds apart by Connor Clifton and Yegor Chinakhov early in the frame ended the Devils' hopes. Markstrom has lost three of his last four starts dating back to Jan. 25, and since the beginning of January he's gone 6-5-0 with a 3.00 GAA and .884 save percentage.

Markstrom will tend the twine for Sweden during Wednesday's quarterfinal matchup against the United States at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although Filip Gustavsson started the first two games of the Olympics for Sweden, Markstrom has seen increased work recently and will draw a third consecutive start during Wednesday's quarterfinal game. Markstrom turned aside 26 of 29 shots during Saturday's win over Slovakia before making 20 saves on 21 shots during Tuesday's qualification win over Latvia. The United States will pose a much tougher test Wednesday, but he's coming off a promising outing.

Markstrom stopped 20 of 21 shots in Sweden's 5-1 win over Latvia in the 2026 Winter Olympics on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was beaten midway through the second period, but other than that, he was excellent in a game where the offense provided enough support to claim an easy win. However, the Devils' netminder will have a tougher challenge against Team USA on Wednesday in the quarterfinals. Markstrom has stopped 49 of 53 shots in his two starts in the current Olympic campaign.
