The New Jersey Devils are keeping Jacob Markstrom around, signing him to a two-year contract extension worth $6 million per year.

The New Jersey Devils as a team are off to a hot start. Jake Allen, who re-signed with the team the morning of free agency on July 1st, has been nearly unbeatable, minus one bad night in San Jose.
