Line Change
The Devils recalled Addison from Utica (AHL) on Saturday.
Grtisyuk will be out for New Jersey's two games over the weekend with an upper-body injury.
Gritsyuk has been productive in his first NHL season, scoring 16 points (7G / 9A) in 31 games. The 24-year-old saw a promotion to the Devils' top powerplay unit in their most recent game, but he suffered an upper-body injury and will not be in the lineup this weekend.
Goalie Start
Markstrom will start Thursday vs. the Lightning.
Markstrom has been unreliable and inconsistent between the pipes this season, but the Devils are hoping he can build momentum off a solid 35-save performance (.921 SV%) in their most recent game, a 4-3 win over the Ottawa Senators. The 35-year-old Markstrom has an ugly 3.48 GAA and .880 SV% in 15 games (8-6-1) and is sporting a career-worst 29 percent quality start rate. The Devils enter Thursday's contest as +120 home underdogs against a Tampa Bay Lightning team that erupted for a 6-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens in their last game after being shut out in two straight.
Line Change
Parent is expected to make his NHL debut vs. Tampa Bay on Thursday.
Timo Meier (personal) will not play on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning, allowing Parent to draw into the lineup for his NHL debut. Parent is an undrafted 24-year-old that has spent the previous four seasons in the AHL with the Utica Comets. He has 12 points (6G / 6A) in 20 games with Utica this season.
Goalie Start
Markstrom is in the starter's crease at New Jersey's morning skate.
Markstrom has been unreliable and inconsistent between the pipes this season, but the Devils are hoping he can build momentum off a solid 35-save performance (.921 SV%) in their most recent game, a 4-3 win over the Ottawa Senators. The 35-year-old Markstrom has an ugly 3.48 GAA and .880 SV% in 15 games (8-6-1) and is sporting a career-worst 29 percent quality start rate. The Devils enter Thursday's contest as +120 home underdogs against a Tampa Bay Lightning team that erupted for a 6-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens in their last game after being shut out in two straight.
Meier has taken a personal leave of absence from New Jersey to attend a family health matter.
Meier will not play on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning and it is unclear when he might return to the lineup, as he is way from the team to tend to a personal family matter. The 29-year-old Meier only has one point (1G / 0A) in his last four games, but is pacing for his best offensive output since joining the Devils, with 23 points (11G / 12A) in 30 games.
Parent has been recalled from Utica (AHL).
Cholowski is a healthy scratch for Tuesday's game in Ottawa.
Cholowski will take a seat on Tuesday in favour of Colton White. Cholowski has zero goals and one assist in 13 games this season.
Line Change
White will draw into the lineup for Tuesday's game in Ottawa.
White will draw back in on Tuesday as Dennis Cholowski draws out of the lineup. White is yet to register a point through 9 games this season.
Goalie Start
Markstrom will start in Ottawa on Tuesday.
After starting the season with a league-best 8-1-0 record, the Devils have gone 8-11-1 since, tied heavily to the absence of superstar forward Jack Hughes (hand). Unfortunately for the Devils, Markstrom has not been able to solidify his game while the team has struggled offensively, allowing three or more goals in eight of his last nine games (4-4-1). The 35-year-old veteran goalie has an ugly 3.51 GAA and .876 SV% in 14 games this season (7-6-1). The Devils enter Tuesday's contest as +124 road underdogs against an Ottawa Senators team that has lost four of its last five (1-4-0).

The 35-year-old Markstrom has struggled this season, earning quality starts in a career-worst 25 percent of games, posting an ugly 3.55 GAA and .875 SV% through 13 outings (7-5-1).
