Markstrom allowed two goals on 31 shots in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Flames. The third goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom couldn't get the better of one of his former teams, as the Flames controlled the pace of play pretty well. The 34-year-old still put in a good effort, maintaining a shutout until Blake Coleman's goal at 14:26 of the third period opened the floodgates. Markstrom's record dropped to 5-4-1 with a 2.62 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 10 starts in his first year with the Devils. He'll have two days to regroup before the Devils wrap up their road trip with a visit to Edmonton on Monday.

Markstrom will defend the visiting crease in Calgary on Friday, Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
It will be Markstrom's first appearance back in Calgary since he was dealt from the Flames to New Jersey in the offseason. Markstrom spent four seasons with the Flames, going 105-78-25 with 15 shutouts. Markstrom is off to a good start with the Devils, as he is 5-3-1 with a 2.68 GAA and a .903 save percentage. The Flames started the season on fire with a 5-0-1 mark, but have since fallen upon hard times as they have lost four games in a row.

Markstrom posted a 20-save shutout in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom picked up his first shutout of the year and the 21st of his career, and it came against a team he spent parts of seven seasons with. The 34-year-old has won consecutive starts for the first time this season, improving to 5-3-1 with a 2.68 GAA and a .903 save percentage through nine starts. Those aren't elite numbers, but Markstrom has been as advertised -- an improvement on last year's rotating crop of goalies in the Devils' crease. The Devils continue their road trip Friday in Calgary, which is another one of Markstrom's former NHL homes.

Markstrom stopped 24 of 26 shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom had allowed 10 goals over his last two outings, but he got back on track Sunday. The Devils surged ahead with a four-goal second period to give their netminder plenty of support. Through eight starts, Markstrom is 4-3-1 with a 3.01 GAA and an .895 save percentage, though his lukewarm numbers haven't cost him the No. 1 job in goal yet. The Devils are set for a trip out west over the next week, with stops in Vancouver on Wednesday, Calgary on Friday and Edmonton on Monday.

Markstrom will guard the home net Sunday against the Ducks, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom has dropped his last two starts, allowing 10 goals on 56 shots in that span. He'll look to get back on track against a Ducks team that's coming off a 2-1 loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

Markstrom allowed four goals on 19 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom allowed two goals at even strength and two on the power play in Thursday's defeat. The Swedish netminder was unable to outduel Cam Talbot between the pipes, as New Jersey more than doubled Detroit's shots on goal. Markstrom has been shaky of late, allowing 10 goals over his last two starts, and he has only one win in his last four appearances. The 34-year-old is sporting a 3-3-1 record, .891 save percentage and 3.15 GAA across seven outings.

Markstrom is set to start on the road against Detroit on Thursday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom will attempt to rebound after surrendering six goals on 37 shots en route to a 6-5 overtime loss to the Capitals on Saturday. He's 3-2-1 with a 2.99 GAA and a .902 save percentage in six appearances in 2024-25. Although the Red Wings have some scoring threats, the team is off to a slow start in terms of offense, tying for 26th with 2.50 goals per game, so this figures to be a favorable matchup for Markstrom.
