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

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom started Friday's game off strong by allowing just one late goal in the first period. However, he experienced a collapse throughout the rest of the game by conceding five more tallies. 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.

Markstrom will guard the home goal versus the Jets on Friday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

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.

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.

Markstrom will serve as the starting goaltender for Sunday's road game against the Golden Knights, Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom was activated off injured reserve Sunday, and he's been cleared to make his first appearance since Jan. 22. Over 36 appearances this season, the 35-year-old has gone 21-9-5 with a 2.20 GAA and .912 save percentage.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has been sidelined since late January due to a sprained MCL, but he's been activated ahead of Sunday's road matchup in Vegas. It's not yet clear whether he'll start against the Golden Knights, especially since Jake Allen got the night off Saturday against Utah. Markstrom should see ample playing time in the near future, especially since Allen hasn't been particularly sharp in recent starts.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has missed the last seven games after suffering a sprained MCL in New Jersey's 5-1 win over Boston on Jan. 22. He received a timeline of 4-6 weeks for his recovery, making a return in early or mid-March possible. Markstrom has a 21-9-5 record with three shutouts, a 2.20 GAA and a .912 save percentage through 36 appearances this season. New Jersey recalled Tyler Brennan from AHL Utica on Tuesday to occupy the backup role behind Jake Allen.

Markstrom is expected to be out of action for 4-6 weeks after suffering a sprained MCL, the Devils announced Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Fortunately for Markstrom and the Devils, that recovery period includes the two-week break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, so he won't miss as many games as he otherwise might have. In fact, if the veteran netminder can return in the four-week range, he would only miss seven games and would be ready to face the Stars on Feb. 22. Still, fantasy managers should probably plan for the backstop to miss a little more time and to return in early March. Don't be surprised to see Markstrom land on injured reserve in the next day or two in order to free up a roster spot for Nico Daws or Isaac Poulter to be called up from AHL Utica. Jake Allen figures to see the bulk of the netminding duties in Markstrom's absence.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom doesn't have a specific timeline for his recovery. Expect Jake Allen to take over the starting role in the short term, while the Devils will make a move to call up a goalie -- likely Nico Daws or Isaac Poulter -- to fill the backup role.
