EDGE Analysis

The veteran netminder did well just to earn New Jersey a point in the standings, but there wasn't much he could do against a full-speed Mathew Barzal on the winning tally.

Markstrom made 16 saves in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

After seeing more than 40 shots in each of his prior two starts, the lack of rubber was a welcome sight for Markstrom, but it also may have left the veteran netminder a little cold on a Jake Evans tally 59 seconds into the third period that he probably should have stopped. Markstrom has alternated starts with Jake Allen since returning from a lower-body injury in late October, going 2-1-0 in three outings while surrendering 12 goals on 105 shots (.886 save percentage).

Markstrom will defend the home net versus Montreal on Thursday, according to Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom had a tough first four games of the season, going 2-2-0 with a 5.13 GAA and an .830 save percentage. However, the 35-year-old netminder was outstanding Saturday in Los Angeles, stopping 43 shots in a 4-1 victory. The Canadiens are third in NHL scoring, averaging 3.69 goals per game.

Markstrom stopped 43 of 44 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom faced 40-plus shots for the second game in a row, but he came away with a much better result this time after allowing eight goals in his previous outing. He limited the Kings to an Andrei Kuzmenko goal midway through the third period. Markstrom improved to 3-2-0 with a 4.17 GAA and an .875 save percentage over five outings this season. The Devils signed the Swedish netminder to a two-year extension on Friday, so they clearly believe he can get back on track and be a part of their success in the near future. Fantasy managers should do the same -- he's an effective starter when he's at his best, though he may have his workload managed to avoid further injuries. Look for Jake Allen to get the nod Sunday in Anaheim.

Markstrom will protect the road goal versus the Kings on Saturday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom was rocked for eight goals against the Avalanche on Tuesday in his return from a lower-body injury. He'll have an easier matchup in Saturday's contest, though the Kings haven't lost in regulation over their last seven games.

Markstrom signed a two-year, $12 million contract extension with the Devils on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom will pull in the same salary as he has had since the 2020-21 campaign on this new deal. The 35-year-old netminder will also continue to share the crease with Jake Allen for the next two seasons. Markstrom is off to a rough start in 2025-26, going 2-2-0 with a 5.13 GAA and an .830 save percentage over four appearances. However, he's an experienced starter and should get himself on track eventually.

Markstrom stopped 34 of 42 shots in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom allowed four goals on the power play and four at even strength. He surrendered at least two goals in each period, and the Devils couldn't find a way to slow down the Avalanche. Markstrom's first start since recovering from a lower-body injury was a rough one, but he should remain New Jersey's No. 1 goaltender ahead of Jake Allen. However, Allen could push for more playing time if Markstrom continues to struggle this season.
