Markstrom will start against the Predators on Thursday.

The Devils have been rotating goalies, not entirely by preference, as neither Jake Allen nor Jacob Markstrom has been able to string together a consistent stretch of reliable goaltending. The 35-year-old Markstrom allowed three goals on 18 shots (.833 SV%) in his previous outing, a 4-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken. He has a sub- .900 SV% in four of his last five games (3-2-0). The Devils enter the action on Thursday as -131 home favourites against a Nashville Predators team that has lost four of their last five games (1-3-1).

The 35-year-old veteran goalie has had a lackadaisical season, posting a 3.20 GAA and .888 SV% in 21 games (10-9-1), but he has shown some promise lately, posting a solid 1.85 GAA and .941 SV% in his last four games (2-2-0).
