Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Comes through when needed in OT win
Rotowire
Markstrom stopped 15 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.
The veteran netminder wasn't busy, but he made some big saves when necessary, including one on Vince Dunn in overtime that led directly to Nico Hischier's game-winner on the counter-attack. Markstrom has allowed more than three goals in an outing only once since the beginning of December, although it was a nine-goal disaster against the Isles on Jan. 6, and he's won three of his last four starts to push his record on the season to 12-10-1 with a 3.34 GAA and .879 save percentage.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Tending twine against Seattle
Rotowire
Markstrom is slated to start Wednesday's home matchup against the Kraken, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.
After a strong outing in Monday's 5-2 win over the Wild, Markstrom will make consecutive starts for the first time since early December. While he has experienced his fair share of recent struggles, he has three wins over his last six appearances. Overall, the 35-year-old netminder has an 11-10-1 record with a 3.41 GAA and an .879 save percentage across 23 games this season. He'll take on a red-hot Kraken team that has gone 7-1-2 over its last 10 games, which could make him a bit of a risky play for fantasy managers.

Rotowire
Markstrom stopped 20 shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Wild.
The Devils never trailed in the game, taking the lead for good on an Ondrej Palat tally late in the second period. It was a strong bounce-back effort from Markstrom after he got shelled for nine goals by the Islanders in his last outing Jan. 6, but that disaster was the only time he's given up more than three goals since the beginning of December. Over 11 appearances during that stretch, Markstrom's gone 4-6-0 with a 3.20 GAA and an .884 save percentage.

Markstrom is expected to guard the road goal against Minnesota on Monday, per Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News.

The 35-year-old Markstrom surrendered nine goals on only 24 shots in Tuesday's 9-0 loss to the Islanders.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Concedes nine goals vs. NYI
Rotowire
Markstrom stopped 15 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 9-0 loss to the Islanders.
Markstrom has lost in the three outings he's played against the Islanders this season (0-2-1), but this was also his worst outing of the season by any imaginable measure. The Swedish netminder will look to bounce back in his next start. Since he's been splitting the workload in the Devils' crease with Jake Allen, it wouldn't be surprising if Markstrom gets his next call when facing the Jets on Sunday, Jan. 11.

Markstrom will patrol the road blue paint against the Islanders on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Markstrom and Jake Allen have split the crease evenly lately, with both netminders getting six starts in the last 12 games. That workload share has seemingly benefited Markstrom, as he's registered a .914 save percentage and a 2.39 GAA, but he also has a 2-3-0 record during that span, a result of the Devils not providing him with much offensive support in those losses. The Swedish netminder is 8-7-3 against the Islanders across 18 career appearances, including two losses this season (0-1-1).

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Left alone by his teammates
Rotowire
Markstrom made 26 saves in a 4-0 loss to Toronto on Tuesday. He allowed three goals.
It was a tough night for Markstrom. The first goal came on the power play, the second marker came just one second after the man advantage expired and the third goal came on a deflection off a Devils' defender. Markstrom's mates failed to show up, either offensively or physically, and he was left alone to weather the Leafs' charge. He has scuffled this season on the whole, but he has looked sharper of late. Markstrom had allowed just five goals on 73 shots (.932) over his last three starts (1-2-0) and could be starting to change his luck.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Surrenders late goal in loss
Rotowire
Markstrom stopped 23 of 25 shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Islanders.
Markstrom had a solid performance before he allowed the game-winning goal with 75 seconds remaining in the contest. The 35-year-old now has a 9-8-1 record with a 3.33 GAA and an .883 save percentage across 19 appearances this season. While the 2025-26 campaign has been a down year overall for Markstrom, he has played better as of late with a 2-2-0 record, a 2.71 GAA and a .907 save percentage over his last five appearances. It would be an enormous task to bring his season stats back to an elite level, but if he can maintain his recent success, he should remain a decent option in standard fantasy leagues. His next opportunity to take the ice is Saturday against the Capitals.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Allows two power-play goals
Rotowire
Markstrom made 13 of 15 saves in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Canucks.
Markstrom fell victim to the new-look Canucks, who came out of the gate hungry in Sunday's game by scoring two power-play goals in the first seven minutes of the contest. With the loss, the 35-year-old netminder has an 8-7-1 record with a 3.56 GAA and an .874 save percentage through 17 games this season. While it should be noted that Markstrom played well down the stretch of Sunday's contest, he is having a career-worst year in many major stat categories. While he still holds bounce-back appeal in fantasy and is potentially worth a stash in deep leagues, there are likely stronger options available in standard league formats. His next chance to start is Wednesday on the road against the Golden Knights.
