We’re still getting strong goaltending, even in Jacob Markstrom’s absence:
The #NJDevils have played 10 games since Jacob Markstrom suffered an injury.
They rank 1st in save percentage, 1st high-danger save percentage, and have given up fewer goals than all but the Winnipeg Jets in that time.
Jake Allen and Nico Daws have done a truly marvellous job.

“Now that we’ve had several days to digest the tournament, it’s time to examine whose Milano Cortina Olympic stocks changed for better or worse. The crucial criterion for this exercise: I’m addressing players whose 2026 participation isn’t or wasn’t a sure thing. Elias Pettersson flopping for Sweden doesn’t jeopardize his shot of making the team or dressing for games, for instance.” [Daily Faceoff]
“Today, teams trying to find the next wave of talent need scouts to do a lot more than tap on their keyboard. They’ve got to tap into a new world of technology that features full-length games at their fingertips and advanced analytics that they’re delivering to prospects younger than ever before.” [The Athletic ($)]
