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 is expected to start on the road against Chicago on Wednesday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has been working through a rough patch in which he's allowed at least three goals in each of his past six appearances, resulting in a 4.33 GAA and an .831 save percentage over that stretch. He's 22-14-6 with a 2.50 GAA and a .900 save percentage in 43 outings overall this season. This will be his second start against the Blackhawks this season -- he stopped 16 of 17 shots in a 4-1 victory on Dec. 14.

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.

Markstrom will patrol the home crease against Vancouver on Monday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has one win across six outings in March, posting a 1-5-0 record with an .833 save percentage. He has gone 22-14-5 with three shutouts, a 2.49 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 42 appearances this season. Vancouver ranks 23rd in the league with 2.79 goals per game in 2024-25.

Markstrom stopped 23 of 27 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Flames. The fifth marker was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

The Devils took a 3-1 lead into the third period, but neither Markstrom nor the shorthanded defensive corps in front of him could rise to the occasion and make it stick. The 35-year-old netminder has dropped five of six decisions since returning from a knee injury at the beginning of March, stumbling to a 4.22 GAA and an .833 save percentage over that stretch, but New Jersey's spot in the postseason still seems fairly secure -- the Devils sit eight points clear of the Rangers and Islanders, the teams on the Eastern Conference playoff bubble, with 12 games left on their schedule.

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 Devils didn't give their netminder much help, although Markstrom didn't exactly shine either. 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 will guard the road net Saturday against the Penguins, Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has struggled since returning from a knee injury, going 1-3-0 with an .850 save percentage in his previous four outings. He'll look to right the ship against a Pittsburgh team averaging 2.85 goals per game. Overall, Markstrom is 22-12-5 with a .906 save percentage and a 2.36 GAA this year.

Markstrom made 17 saves in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

New Jersey grabbed a 3-0 lead before the end of the first period, putting Columbus in a hole it couldn't climb out of -- Markstrom never faced more than eight shots in any frame. It's the netminder's first win in four starts since returning to the crease from a knee injury, and he hasn't looked particularly sharp in that time, as he's given up 15 goals on 100 shots for a rough .850 save percentage.

Markstrom will patrol the home blue paint Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets, according to Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has lost three consecutive games to start March -- he's 0-3-0 with an .850 save percentage and a 4.01 GAA in that span. Columbus has produced 3.33 goals per game in 2024-25, which ranks seventh in the NHL. Markstrom has a 4-3-0 record, .932 save percentage and 2.13 GAA over eight career outings against the Blue Jackets.
