Markstrom will protect the home net against the Rangers on Saturday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.
Markstrom has turned aside 69 of the 74 shots he has faced during his three-game winning streak. He has posted a record of 18-14-1 this campaign with a 3.05 GAA and an .888 save percentage across 34 appearances. The Rangers rank 26th in the league with 2.67 goals per game this season.

Devils' Maxim Tsyplakov: Remains with team, playing Saturday
Rotowire
Tsyplakov is expected to be in the lineup for the Devils on Saturday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
The Devils waived Tsyplakov on Thursday, but he will remain with the team. The Devils can send him to the minors over the next 30 days without requiring waivers. He has yet to pick up a point in nine games with New Jersey since being acquired from the Islanders on Jan. 27. It has been a lost year for the Russian, who managed one goal and one assist in 27 games with the Islanders before the trade.
Cholowski has five assists in 13 AHL outings this season. He also has one helper, 10 shots on goal and 15 blocked shots in 15 NHL appearances during the 2025-26 campaign.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Is week-to-week
Rotowire
Pesce (lower body) is considered week-to-week, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports Friday.
Pesce has a goal, seven points, six PIM, 11 hits and 80 blocks in 37 appearances with the Devils in 2025-26. He missed Wednesday's game against Toronto due to the injury. Johnny Kovacevic might play regularly while Pesce is unavailable.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Set to miss next two games
Rotowire
Pesce (lower body) will not be available against the Rangers or Red Wings on Saturday or Sunday, respectively, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Pesce has already missed one game, but he will now have to be out for at least two more. The 31-year-old blueliner hasn't found the back of the net since Dec. 23 versus the Islanders, a stretch of 24 games during which he has managed just three helpers. With his limited offensive upside, Pesce figures to be a mid-range fantasy option, at best, once cleared to play.

Devils' Maxim Tsyplakov: Hits waiver wire
Rotowire
Tsyplakov was placed on waivers by New Jersey on Thursday.
Tsyplakov was acquired from the Islanders on Jan. 27 and has yet to pick up a point in nine games. He had one goal and one assist in 27 games with the Islanders prior to the trade and still has one year remaining on a two-year contract he signed in July of 2025.

Devils' Luke Glendening: Designated for waivers
Rotowire
Glendening was placed on waivers by the Devils on Thursday.
By putting Glendening on waivers, the team will be able to move him down to the minors in the future, assuming he goes unclaimed. The Devils did the same with Evgenii Dadonov and Maxim Tsyplakov, which could be a sign they are finalizing a deal to bring a player or two in via trade. For his part, Glendening has featured in just four of the team's last 14 contests and has gone 11 games without generating a point.

Devils' Evgenii Dadonov: Placed on waivers
Rotowire
Dadonov was placed on waivers by the Devils on Thursday,
Dadonov has been a healthy scratch in each of the last five games. Dadonov, who had 20 goals and 20 assists for Dallas last season, has yet to hit the scoresheet in 17 games with the Devils in 2025-26.

Devils' Jonas Siegenthaler: Slumping on offense
Rotowire
Siegenthaler's point drought reached 11 games in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.
Siegenthaler is still playing regularly, but he's gone cold on offense. The Swiss defenseman also went scoreless in five games at the Olympics. For the season, he has just seven assists with 47 shots on net, 80 hits, 102 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a minus-12 rating. While he's been healthy this season, he's at risk of a third straight campaign under the 10-point mark.

Devils' Luke Glendening: No room in lineup
Rotowire
Glendening has been a healthy scratch for the last six games after sitting out Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.
There's no room for Glendening in the lineup, especially after Nick Bjugstad was acquired from the Blues on Feb. 4. Until an injury opens a spot, Glendening will likely remain in the press box. The 36-year-old has just four helpers with 30 shots on net, 66 hits, 45 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 52 appearances this season, so his time out of the lineup won't be noticed in fantasy.

Devils' Connor Brown: Forces overtime Wednesday
Rotowire
Brown scored a goal on six shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.
Brown's tally with 2:21 left in the third period forced overtime, erasing the third deficit the Devils faced in the contest. The winger has a goal and three assists over his last three outings. He's up to 11 goals, 26 points, 79 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 55 appearances. He's getting ice time in all situations and should be able to provide some depth scoring in fantasy.

Devils' Timo Meier: Lights lamp Wednesday
Rotowire
Meier scored a goal on seven shots and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.
Meier has three goals over his last five games, adding 27 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-4 rating in that span. The winger looks to be rolling in a top-six role, setting him up for a good stretch run even though the Devils are unlikely to push for a playoff spot. Meier is at 17 goals, 31 points, 203 shots, 103 hits, 38 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating across 57 appearances.

Devils' Nico Hischier: Two helpers in shootout win
Rotowire
Hischier pocketed two assists in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.
The 27-year-old center had a hand in tallies by Timo Meier in the first period and Arseny Gritsyuk in the second. It was Hischier's first multi-point effort since Jan. 23, snapping a sluggish 10-game stretch in which he'd managed four goals but zero helpers. On the season, Hischier's up to 20 goals and 45 points in 62 contests, putting him on pace to potentially fall short of 60 points in a full season for the first time since 2019-20.
Gritsyuk scored a goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over Toronto.
The Devils fell behind by a goal in each period, with Gritsyuk pulling the home side level in the second before helping to set up Connor Brown's tying tally in the third. It was Gritsyuk's first multi-point performance since Jan. 20, and through his first 58 NHL games the 24-year-old rookie has 11 goals, 26 points, 127 shots on net, 50 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-6 rating.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Nabs third straight win
Rotowire
Markstrom stopped 24 shots in regulation and overtime and both shootout attempts he faced in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Maple Leafs.
The two teams traded goals in the three regulation periods, with New Jersey coming from behind each time, but Markstrom shut the door in OT before denying William Nylander and Auston Matthews in the shootout. Markstrom has won three straight starts and has allowed three goals or fewer in seven straight, going 4-3-0 over that stretch with a sharp 2.14 GAA and .918 save percentage.
Markstrom will protect the home goal versus the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Markstrom was in goal for the Devils' 5-1 win over the Panthers on Tuesday. That light workload will allow him to go again a day later. The Maple Leafs are sitting out three regulars for trade protection, so he'll draw a struggling team with a diminished lineup in this matchup, which could help Markstrom in his pursuit of a three-game winning streak for the first time all season.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Ruled out for Wednesday's game
Rotowire
Pesce has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Maple Leafs due to a lower-body injury.
While the severity of Pesce's lower-body issue isn't yet clear, he'll be sidelined for the first time since mid-December. Johnny Kovacevic will likely take his place in the lineup Wednesday, while Pesce's next opportunity to suit up will be Saturday against the Rangers.
