Markstrom gave up six goals on 37 shots in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was enjoying a strong start to the season up until Saturday's contest, but neither the Swede nor Logan Thompson had a performance to remember in a high-scoring affair that finished with 11 total goals. Markstrom's role as the Devils' No. 1 goaltender isn't under threat, but it remains to be seen if the 34-year-old netminder will start against the Lightning on Tuesday since he's been in the Devils' crease in the last three games. Over that span, Markstrom has gone 1-1-1 with a 3.27 GAA and an .898 save percentage.

Markstrom made 27 saves in a 4-2 loss to Carolina on Tuesday. He allowed three goals.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom got stuck behind a team that was on its heels a bit too much all game long. He kept his team in the contest, but the Hurricanes were too much with their cycle and sustained pressure. Markstrom is going to be a busy man in New Jersey this season, although back-up Jake Allen is a more-than-capable starter for stretches should Markstrom need a break.

He is slated to be the workhorse netminder New Jersey has coveted in recent seasons, so fantasy managers should roll him out regularly.
