Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Struggles in loss
Markstrom stopped 22 of 27 shots on net in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Lightning.
Markstrom struggled in Tuesday's loss, which was highlighted by a hat trick from Lightning forward Jake Guentzel. After the loss, the 35-year-old Markstrom fell to a 5-3-1 record with a 3.83 GAA and an .864 save percentage through nine appearances this year. This stretch of sub-par play from the veteran netminder is out of character for him, as he's maintained a sub-3.00 GAA over the last 10 regular seasons. He should get back on track, but consistency could remain an issue throughout the campaign.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Receiving starting nod
Markstrom will protect the road goal versus the Lightning on Tuesday, Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site reports.
Markstrom is 3-1-1 over his last five games, and he's allowed three goals in each of his last three outings. The Lightning have just one win in their last four games, scoring 11 goals in that span, which gives Markstrom a decent matchup for this contest.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Gets overtime win Wednesday
Markstrom allowed three goals on 20 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
Markstrom still had a mediocre outing under a light workload for his third straight game, but this was enough to get the win with the help of Simon Nemec's hat trick. The 35-year-old Markstrom has gone 3-1-0 with 10 goals allowed over his last four games. For the year, he's 5-2-1 with a 3.67 GAA and an .870 save percentage across eight appearances. The Devils' next game is on the road versus the Capitals on Saturday.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Slated to start Wednesday
Markstrom is expected to start on the road against Chicago on Wednesday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.
Markstrom stopped 21 of 24 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders on Monday. He has a 4-2-1 record, 3.82 GAA and .872 save percentage through seven appearances in 2025-26. Markstrom is facing the Blackhawks at a time when the team is red hot. Chicago has won its past three games while outscoring its adversaries 14-3.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Comes up short in OT
Markstrom stopped 21 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.
The veteran netminder did well just to earn New Jersey a point in the standings, but there wasn't much he could do against a full-speed Mathew Barzal on the winning tally. Markstrom has bounced back nicely from an eight-goal disaster against the Avalanche at the end of October, going 2-0-1 to begin November while allowing seven goals on 87 shots (.920 save percentage) as he alternates starts with Jake Allen.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Starting against divisional foe
Markstrom will patrol the home crease Monday versus the Islanders, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Markstrom has won back-to-back games after allowing eight goals in his return from a lower-body injury against Colorado on Oct. 28. The Swedish netminder has a 4-2-0 record, 3.95 GAA and .871 save percentage across six appearances this season. The Islanders are coming off a 5-0 win over the Rangers on Saturday and rank ninth in the NHL with 3.33 goals per game in 2025-26.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Hangs on for OT win
Markstrom made 16 saves in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens.
After seeing more than 40 shots in each of his prior two starts, the lack of rubber was a welcome sight for Markstrom, but it also may have left the veteran netminder a little cold on a Jake Evans tally 59 seconds into the third period that he probably should have stopped. Markstrom has alternated starts with Jake Allen since returning from a lower-body injury in late October, going 2-1-0 in three outings while surrendering 12 goals on 105 shots (.886 save percentage).

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Between pipes Thursday
Markstrom will defend the home net versus Montreal on Thursday, according to Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News.
Markstrom had a tough first four games of the season, going 2-2-0 with a 5.13 GAA and an .830 save percentage. However, the 35-year-old netminder was outstanding Saturday in Los Angeles, stopping 43 shots in a 4-1 victory. The Canadiens are third in NHL scoring, averaging 3.69 goals per game.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Stellar under heavy pressure
Markstrom stopped 43 of 44 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kings.
Markstrom faced 40-plus shots for the second game in a row, but he came away with a much better result this time after allowing eight goals in his previous outing. He limited the Kings to an Andrei Kuzmenko goal midway through the third period. Markstrom improved to 3-2-0 with a 4.17 GAA and an .875 save percentage over five outings this season. The Devils signed the Swedish netminder to a two-year extension on Friday, so they clearly believe he can get back on track and be a part of their success in the near future. Fantasy managers should do the same -- he's an effective starter when he's at his best, though he may have his workload managed to avoid further injuries. Look for Jake Allen to get the nod Sunday in Anaheim.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: In goal Saturday
Markstrom will protect the road goal versus the Kings on Saturday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Markstrom was rocked for eight goals against the Avalanche on Tuesday in his return from a lower-body injury. He'll have an easier matchup in Saturday's contest, though the Kings haven't lost in regulation over their last seven games.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Inks two-year extension
Markstrom signed a two-year, $12 million contract extension with the Devils on Friday.
Markstrom will pull in the same salary as he has had since the 2020-21 campaign on this new deal. The 35-year-old netminder will also continue to share the crease with Jake Allen for the next two seasons. Markstrom is off to a rough start in 2025-26, going 2-2-0 with a 5.13 GAA and an .830 save percentage over four appearances. However, he's an experienced starter and should get himself on track eventually.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Gives up eight goals
Markstrom stopped 34 of 42 shots in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Avalanche.
Markstrom allowed four goals on the power play and four at even strength. He surrendered at least two goals in each period, and the Devils couldn't find a way to slow down the Avalanche. Markstrom's first start since recovering from a lower-body injury was a rough one, but he should remain New Jersey's No. 1 goaltender ahead of Jake Allen. However, Allen could push for more playing time if Markstrom continues to struggle this season.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Expected to start in Colorado
Markstrom is scheduled to tend the road twine Tuesday against the Avalanche, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Markstrom returned to the lineup Sunday as the backup to Jake Allen in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over Colorado. The 35-year-old Markstrom will get the nod in Tuesday's rematch, and it'll be his first appearance since he suffered a lower-body injury Oct. 13 in Columbus. The Avalanche have lost four straight games (0-1-3) and rank 13th in the NHL with 3.30 goals per game in 2025-26.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Dresses as backup
Markstrom (lower body) is dressed for Sunday's game as the backup goaltender, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Sunday.
It's not in the starting role, but Markstrom dressing at all is a good sign for the Devils. The 35-year-old was set to miss at least two weeks as of October 15, but his return to the lineup Sunday puts him ahead of that timeline. The Devils remained red-hot without him in the lineup but his return should provide an even bigger boost to the team, despite Markstrom's pedestrian start statistically (2-1-0 record, 3.88 GAA, .845 save percentage).

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Poised for 2-3 week absence
Markstrom is expected to miss "a couple of weeks" with a lower-body injury according to head coach Sheldon Keefe on Wednesday.
There was speculation regarding Markstrom's status after the Devils recalled Nico Daws from the minors Wednesday. In three outings this year, including a relief appearance versus Columbus on Monday, the 35-year-old Markstrom has a 2-1-0 record and an .845 save percentage. Without Markstrom in the lineup, Jake Allen (undisclosed) is expected to see the bulk of the workload but could share plenty of starts with Daws. Given the length of his injury absence, Markstrom could be a candidate for injured reserve in the coming days.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Nabs win in relief
Markstrom picked up the win Monday over the Blue Jackets, stopping eight of nine shots after replacing Jake Allen (cramping) to begin the third period in a 3-2 victory.
Markstrom took over with the Devils ahead 2-1, but a late goal by Dmitri Voronkov made Dawson Mercer's third-period tally the winner. Markstrom had a rough season debut against the Hurricanes on Oct. 9, coughing up five goals on 32 shots, but since then, the veteran netminder has won two straight appearances while allowing four goals in four periods of action.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Little action in win
Markstrom made 14 saves in a 5-3 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday.
The Bolts came out strong but quickly shrank after the Devils scored at the 8:30 mark of the first period. Even still, Markstrom had to be strong between the pipes. The netminder is now 1-1-0 with a 4.04 GAA and an .837 save percentage this season. We're not concerned; those numbers should improve over the next couple of weeks.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Set to start Saturday
Markstrom will protect the road goal Saturday versus the Lightning, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Markstrom will get the nod in the Devils' second game, and he'll be looking to bounce back from a tough opener. He allowed five goals on 32 shots in a 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes on Thursday. The 35-year-old still has quite a bit of a leash as the Devils' top goalie, but if his struggles persist in the long run, Jake Allen could get more time.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Allows two late goals in defeat
Markstrom conceded five goals on 32 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes. One of the Hurricanes' goals was an empty-netter.
Markstrom and his club were in a tightly-contested game late in the final frame, but the Hurricanes exploded for three goals in the final three minutes. This was far from his best performance, though better days should be coming for Markstrom, as the Devils will likely give him plenty of offensive support throughout the season. Look for the Swedish netminder to get the nod again Saturday in Tampa Bay.
