New Jersey Devils News

Markstrom is coming off an awful team effort, where he was left between the pipes for all nine goals in an embarrassing 9-0 loss to the New York Islanders. The 35-year-old Markstrom is pacing for the worst season of his career, with an ugly 3.48 GAA and .878 SV% through 22 appearances (10-10-1). That said, Markstrom was actually stringing together a solid stretch before allowing nine goals on 24 shots (.625 SV%), posting a 1.85 GAA and .941 SV% in his previous four games (2-2-0).

The Devils hope to snap a three-game losing skid on Sunday, turning to Allen to tend the twine against the Winnipeg Jets. The 35-year-old Allen has lost two straight (0-2-0), allowing three or more goals in each, but he has been reliable most of the season, posting a solid 2.61 GAA and .909 SV% in 23 games (11-10-1). The Devils enter Sunday’s contest as +110 road underdogs.

MacEwen has been out since November 12th and recently underwent ACL surgery and will be out indefinitely. His season ends with zero points in three games.

Noesen will "undergo knee surgery next week to address a lingering injury" according to the Devils. Noesen will be placed on IR and is out indefinitely. He enjoyed a breakout 2025 campaign, but has just seven points (3G / 4A) in 38 games this season.

The Devils will unsurprisingly turn to Allen between the pipes tonight after Jacob Markstrom was tagged for nine goals in Tuesday's embarrassing loss on Long Island. Allen himself took the loss in his last start, allowing three goals on 29 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Hurricanes on Sunday. The 35-year-old netminder is enjoying another successful season as New Jersey's backup, logging an 11-9-1 record and a .911 SV% across 22 appearances. Allen and the Devils enter action on Thursday at -105 on the money line.

Nemec has not played in nearly a month because of an undisclosed injury, but he will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 21-year-old Slovak defenseman was having a solid season from New Jersey's blueline before his injury, scoring 18 points (7G / 11A) in 31 games.

After an 8-1-0 start to the season, the Devils have been the worst team in the Eastern Conference, plummeting in the standings, going 14-17-2. That said, the team got a stellar performance from Markstrom in his most recent outing, saving 30 of 31 shots (.968 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Utah Mammoth. The 35-year-old veteran goalie has had a lackadaisical season, posting a 3.20 GAA and .888 SV% in 21 games (10-9-1), but he has shown some promise lately, posting a solid 1.85 GAA and .941 SV% in his last four games (2-2-0). The Devils enter Tuesday's contest as -111 road favorites against a New York Islanders team that has scored two or fewer goals in nine of their last 10 games (5-4-1).

After an 8-1-0 start to the season, the Devils have been the worst team in the Eastern Conference, plummeting in the standings, going 12-16-2. The Devils hope to end the calendar year on a high note, turning to Allen to tend the twine against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 35-year-old Allen has a solid 2.54 GAA and .910 SV% in 20 games this season (10-8-1). The Devils enter the action as +108 road underdogs against the Blue Jackets.

The Devils will hand Markstrom his 20th start of the season when they travel to Toronto on Tuesday. Markstrom was unfortunate to be tagged with the loss in his last start, stopping 23 of the 25 shots he faced in a 2-1 loss on Long Island last Tuesday. The 36-year-old netminder brings a 9-8-1 record and .883 SV% into Tuesday night's matchup, where the Devils enter action at -130 on the money line.
