After bouncing back from an injury, Jacob Markstrom ended his first season with the New Jersey Devils on a high note with a series of stellar playoff performances. That form, however, has not carried over to start the 2025-26 season.
Markstrom, 35, has not necessarily been bad, but we can't say he's been great, or even good, either. Through two games, the 6-foot-6 netminder has a 4.04 GAA and a .837 save percentage. That can quickly change with a few good performances, especially this early in the season, but there is some cause for concern.
Markstrom isn't getting younger at 35 years old, and he'll turn 36 on Jan.
