Markstrom will guard the road goal against Carolina on Tuesday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Markstrom posted a 23-19-1 record with one shutout, a 3.07 GAA and an .883 save percentage in 44 regular-season appearances for New Jersey in 2025-26. He has plenty of bounce-back appeal in the 2026-27 campaign after the Devils dealt him to the Panthers in the offseason.
