Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Slated to start Friday

Markstrom is in the starter's crease at morning skate and is expected to get the home start versus Carolina on Friday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Markstrom is coming off back-to-back shutouts over his last two starts. The 34-year-old goaltender has had a comeback season in 2024-25, as he is 18-6-2 with three shutouts, a sizzling 2.12 GAA and a .912 save percentage, after a tough couple of campaigns in Calgary. The Hurricanes will be a challenging matchup, as they are fifth in NHL scoring, averaging 3.47 goals per game.
