Markstrom turned aside 27 shots in regulation and overtime and both shootout attempts he faced in Monday's 3-2 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
He took a shutout into the third period, but Minnesota forced OT with tallies early and late in the frame -- one on a deflection through heavy traffic, and the other after an unlucky bounce put the puck on Matt Boldy's stick right on Markstrom's doorstep. The veteran netminder is up to 25 wins on the season, and after some mid-March stumbles, he seems to have turned things around, allowing three goals or fewer in four straight starts while going 3-0-1 with a 2.40 GAA and a .905 save percentage.

Markstrom will get the starting nod at home versus Minnesota on Monday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom is undefeated in regulation over his last three appearances, posting a 2-0-1 record, 2.60 GAA and .895 save percentage. Once the Devils have their postseason spot locked up, Markstrom could see some extra rest ahead of the playoffs, which would mean more opportunities for Jake Allen.

Markstrom stopped 22 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
The Devils never trailed in the game thanks in part to a Nico Hischier hat trick, but Markstrom was also locked in. He's turned things around of late, going 2-0-1 over his last three starts with a 2.60 GAA, and Markstrom sits one win away from 25 on the season -- a plateau the 35-year-old netminder has reached only twice before in his career.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old Markstrom is coming off a 21-save effort in Wednesday's 5-3 win over Chicago. He has a 23-14-6 record with three shutouts, a 2.51 GAA and a .900 save percentage across 44 appearances this season. Minnesota ranks 28th in the league with 2.70 goals per game in 2024-25.

Markstrom turned aside 21 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
The Devils grabbed an early 2-0 lead with goals 27 seconds apart in the first period, and Markstrom made sure the home squad was never able to draw level. It's only the second win in March for the veteran netminder, who's gone 2-5-1 in his last eight starts with a 3.87 GAA and .847 save percentage. New Jersey is comfortably in a playoff spot -- they're nine points clear of the Islanders for third place in the Metropolitan Division -- so Markstrom should get every opportunity down the stretch to regain his form ahead of the postseason.

Markstrom turned aside 25 shots in regulation and overtime and two of four shootout attempts in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
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.
