Devils' Jacob Markstrom Expected to Miss Time Due to Injury

The New Jersey Devils are facing a significant challenge following the injury of their star goaltender, Jacob Markstrom, during a 5-1 victory over the Boston Bruins. Markstrom left the game after a collision with Bruins forward Justin Brazeau, and while head coach Sheldon Keefe indicated that the goaltender would miss some time, the severity of the injury remains unclear. Markstrom has been a crucial asset for the Devils this season, posting a record of 21-9-5 with a 2.20 GAA before the injury. In his absence, the team will rely on veteran Jake Allen, who will need to elevate his game to maintain the Devils' playoff hopes. Despite the injury, the team managed to secure the win against the Bruins, showcasing resilience on the ice. Updates on Markstrom's condition are expected soon, adding uncertainty to both the Devils' playoff ambitions and Team Sweden's plans for an upcoming tournament.
