Markstrom will be between the pipes at home against the Flames on Thursday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has been struggling of late, going 1-4-0 with a 4.23 GAA and .829 save percentage in his last five outings. With the Swedish backstop underwhelming of late, the Devils may have to turn to Jake Allen more often down the stretch in order to keep their playoff hopes alive. As such, it's Allen who will get the nod at home versus Ottawa on Saturday.

Markstrom stopped 16 of 22 shots in Saturday's 7-3 loss to Pittsburgh, with the Penguins' seventh goal getting scored into an empty net.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old goaltender has lost four of five starts since returning from a knee injury, posting a rough 4.23 GAA and an .828 save percentage over that stretch behind a blue line that's missing both Dougie Hamilton (lower body) and Jonas Siegenthaler (lower body).

Markstrom has a 4-3-0 record, .932 save percentage and 2.13 GAA over eight career outings against the Blue Jackets.

Markstrom made 29 saves on 35 shots in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old goaltender has a 21-12-5 record with a 2.34 GAA and a .907 save percentage. Markstrom is 0-3-0 in his three starts since his return from a knee injury. While he still seems to be shaking off some rust, Markstrom could face challenges down the stretch due to the absences of Jack Hughes (shoulder) and Dougie Hamilton (lower body). Markstrom's next opportunity to guard the crease is Sunday against the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has lost his last two outings since returning from a knee injury. He's given up six goals on 45 shots combined in those two games, and it doesn't get any easier with the Jets in town, though they are on the second half of a back-to-back while the Devils haven't played since Tuesday.

Markstrom stopped 17 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom had some shaky moments in this contests, but it wasn't solely his fault. The 35-year-old has now lost both games since he returned from a knee injury, allowing a total of six goals on 45 shots. He's at a 21-11-5 record with a 2.24 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 38 starts this season. The Devils' suffocating defense will keep the opposing team's shot totals down, so Markstrom has a better chance of helping fantasy managers with wins and GAA. The Devils have a tough matchup for their next game Friday at home versus the Jets.

Markstrom will defend the road net against the Stars on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Following an 11-game absence because of a knee injury, Markstrom stopped 22 shots in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Vegas. He has a 21-10-5 record with three shutouts, a 2.19 GAA and a .912 save percentage through 37 appearances this season. Dallas ranks fourth in the league with 3.40 goals per game in 2024-25.

Markstrom stopped 22 of 24 shots in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom dueled with Adin Hill over the first two periods. The Devils then took two penalties in the first half of the third, and Vegas cashed in both of those power plays before more penalties put an end to New Jersey's comeback efforts. All told, it wasn't a bad performance for Markstrom in his first action since Jan. 22 after suffering a sprained MCL in a Jan. 22 game versus the Bruins. He's lost his last four results over a five-game span, but he's given up more than two goals just once in that stretch. For the season, he's at a 21-10-5 record with a 2.19 GAA and a .912 save save percentage across 37 starts. He should see a starter's workload as the Devils jockey for playoff positioning in the Metropolitan Division standings. They conclude their five-game road trip in Dallas on Tuesday.
