The New Jersey Devils invested a lot to make sure their goaltending situation was stable in 2024-25. They acquired Jacob Markstrom fro the Calgary Flames in a blockbuster trade, but now New Jersey will be without its starting goaltender for several weeks.
In a Jan. 22 game against the Boston Bruins, Markstrom suffered a knee sprain when Bruins forward Justin Brazeau crashed into him. The Devils’ worst fears were avoided when an MRI showed it was just a sprain, but Markstrom will still miss significant time, include the 4 Nations Face-Off, where he was supposed to play for Sweden.
Markstrom has been excellent in his first season with the Devils, posting a .912 save percentage and a 2.20 GAA. With Markstrom out, New Jersey will lean on veteran backup Jake Allen.
The Devils aren’t the only team dealing with injuries to key players. The Utah Hockey Club will be without forward Dylan Guenther for an indefinite period of time, the Toronto Maple Leafs are still waiting on John Tavares to return and Vegas Golden Knights star William Karlsson has recently been sidelined.
Here is a list of many of the marquee players that are currently sidelined due to injury.
