EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has lost three straight games during which he posted a 2.29 GAA to go with a 0-1-2 record.

For the season, the 6-foot-6 goaltender holds a 21-9-5 record, .912 save percentage and 2.20 GAA through 35 outings.

EDGE Analysis

The Leafs tend to come in waves, and that's exactly what happened Thursday. Markstrom was magnificent at time, but so were Auston Matthews and William Nylander, who each had two goals. He's been battling since the end of 2024, delivering a 2-2-3 record in his last seven starts. The Devils had a few breakdowns that cost them Thursday, and Markstrom paid the price. Still, the netminder is a great fantasy play with a sparkling 2.40 GAA, fifth-best in the NHL.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom is 21-8-4 with a 2.15 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 33 starts in 2024-25. He's continued to succeed recently, stopping 101 of 109 shots (.927 save percentage) over his past four starts, though New Jersey struggled to provide him with adequate offense, resulting in Markstrom posting a 2-0-2 record during that stretch. Toronto ranks 13th in goals per game with 3.02.

Markstrom stopped 27 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom played at an elite level in December, going 8-1-1 with a 1.30 GAA and a .937 save percentage across 10 appearances, but his numbers have regressed a bit in recent weeks. He's gone 2-1-2 with a 2.13 GAA and a .917 save percentage in five January appearances. That said, even with the regression, Markstrom remains an excellent fantasy alternative across all formats. The Devils are playing three games over the next five days, though, so it wouldn't be surprising if Markstrom gets some much-needed rest in the coming days after starting five games in a row.

It preserved the Devils' lead at the time. Markstrom sits fourth in the NHL with a 2.19 GAA and top-13 in save percentage (.911). He's tied with Jake Oettinger for second in most wins (21).
