• Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Loses to former team

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Markstrom allowed two goals on 31 shots in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Flames. The third goal was an empty-netter. 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.

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.

  Markstrom stopped 24 of 26 shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks. 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.
