New Jersey Devils News

Daws took a seat in the Devils' previous game as he backed up Akira Schmid in a loss but will make his eighth start in the last nine games on Tuesday. The 23-year-old has had an up-and-down second season in New Jersey but seems to be their starter for the time being, with his 7-8-0 record, 3.30 GAA and .895 SV%. He draws a favourable matchup on Tuesday in San Jose, who has lost three straight and is 31st in the NHL in goals per game (2.09).

Markstrom returns to Calgary's crease on Tuesday after an illness forced him to backup Dan Vladar for the Battle of Alberta this past Saturday. The 34-year-old veteran netminder is the talk of the Trade Deadline market at the moment and deservedly so due to his 19-15-2 record, 2.58 GAA and .914 SV%. He will host the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday, who are on the second half of a back-to-back after losing to Edmonton on Monday.

With Nathan Bastian (lower body) finding himself on Injured Reserve, Brian Halonen earned his first career call-up to the New Jersey Devils from Utica (AHL) on Friday. The 25-year-old left-winger has been enjoying a solid season in Utica in 2023-24, with 13 goals, 17 points, 10 PIMs and a +7 plus/minus in 21 games played before his call up.

Kyle Burroughs is expected to draw into the lineup on Saturday, making Addison a healthy scratch. Addison had a two-point outing (0G / 2A) earlier this week but has failed to record a point in 12 of his last 13 games.

Daws will get an immediate shot at redemption after his shot streak came to a sudden end in Washington on Tuesday. Daws allowed six goals on just 26 shots in the 6-2 defeat, ending a run of four straight starts where the the 23-year-old netminder posted a .931 SV% or better. Daws owns a 6-7-0 record in 13 starts on the season to go along with a .903 SV% and a 3.18 GAA. He draws a difficult assignment on Thursday at home against the Rangers, though New York could be without Artemi Panarin (lower-body).

Markstrom will return to the crease for the ninth time in the last 10 games when the Flames face off against the Boston Bruins on Thursday. Markstrom has allowed three or fewer goals in six of his last seven games (5-2-0) and saved 28 of 31 shots (.903 SV%) on Monday, a 6-3 win over the Winnipeg Jets. The Flames enter action as +110 home underdogs.

Jordan Harris will return to the lineup from an upper-body injury, sending Kovacevic to the press box as a healthy scratch. Kovacevic has played nine straight games for the Canadiens, registering one goal, 18 penalty minutes, eight shots, and 14 hits.

The Devils will turn to Daws for the fifth-consecutive game when the team travels to Washington to take on the Capitals on Tuesday night. Daws has been outstanding since filling in for the injured Vitek Vanecek (lower-body), compiling a 3-1-0 record across his last four starts, posting a .942 SV% in the process. He turned in a fantastic performance in the outdoor game against the Flyers on Saturday, stopping 45 of the 48 shots he faced enroute to a 6-3 victory. Daws and the Devils look poised to stay in the win column on Tuesday as they find themselves as -165 favourites over the Capitals.

Siegenthaler has been out of the lineup for over a month due to a broken foot but appears ready to return to the lineup on Tuesday. The 26-year-old defender has eight points (1G / 7A) in 38 games this season and will be a welcome addition to a Devils squad that has had an injury-depleted defensive core lately, most notably with Dougie Hamilton on LTIR.

Markstrom will return to the crease on Monday, looking to rebound after a poor outing on Saturday. Markstrom allowed four goals on 12 shots (.667 SV%) and did not finish the contest in an eventual 5-0 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday. The Flames enter action on Monday as a +113 home underdog against a Winnipeg Jets club riding a three-game winning streak.
