Jacob Markstrom News

Head coach Sheldon Keefe wasn't lying when he said he wanted to give Markstrom a chance to keep his momentum going, as he tasks the 36-year-old with starting both ends of New Jersey's back-to-back. Markstrom was excellent in last night's start against the Panthers, allowing just a single goal on 21 shots enroute to a 5-1 victory. The Devils enter Wednesday's contest as -117 home favourites against a reeling Maple Leafs team that has been outscored 17-7 since returning from the Olympic break (0-3-1).

Markstrom has struggled with consistency this season, but is in the midst of his best streak so far. Dating back to before the Olympic break, the 36-year-old goalie has strung together four consecutive quality starts for the first time in 2025-26 (2-2-0), posting an impressive 2.02 GAA and .931 SV%. He saved 25 of 26 shots (.962 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 3-1 win over the St. Louis Blues. That said, the Devils enter Tuesday's action as slight +105 home underdogs against a Florida Panthers team on a two-game losing streak (0-2-0).

Markstrom will make his first post-Olympic start on Thursday as Jake Allen got the nod in Wednesday's loss to the Sabres. Markstrom has struggled to maintain any sort of consistent form this season, logging a 15-13-1 record and an .882 SV% across 30 appearances. He and the Devils enter action on Thursday as slight underdogs at +130 on the money line.

It looked like Markstrom may start on Friday, but Sweden ultimately went back to Filip Gustavsson, in what would turn out to be a loss to Finland. So Markstrom will make his tournament debut today vs. Slovakia, his first international start since last year's World Championships. He was 4-2-0 with a 2.14 GAA and .894 SV% in that tournament and is 15-13-1 with a 3.20 GAA and .882 SV% with the Devils this season.

The Devils will hand Markstrom his 29th start of the season when they host the Blue Jackets on Tuesday. Markstrom was excellent in his last start, stopping 27 of the 29 shots he faced in a 3-2 win over the Predators on Thursday. The 36-year-old brings a 15-12-1 record and an .881 SV% into Tuesday night's matchup, where the Devils enter action at -110 on the money line.

The Devils have been rotating goalies, not entirely by preference, as neither Jake Allen nor Jacob Markstrom has been able to string together a consistent stretch of reliable goaltending. The 35-year-old Markstrom allowed three goals on 18 shots (.833 SV%) in his previous outing, a 4-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken. He has a sub- .900 SV% in four of his last five games (3-2-0). The Devils enter the action on Thursday as -131 home favourites against a Nashville Predators team that has lost four of their last five games (1-3-1).
