Markstrom was perfect in his last start, stopping 40 of 40 shots for his first shutout of the season as he blanked the Minnesota wild in a 1-0 shootout win last start. The 33-year-old has struggled all season and is hoping the shutout is a sign of a change of tides, as he has a 17-17-8 record, 2,89 GAA and .893 SV%. He faces the Anaheim Ducks, who have lost three of their last four games and are 31st in the NHL in goals per game (2.49).

MacDermid had just returned from a two-week absence with an upper-body injury for one game and is now considered day-to-day with a new lower-body injury. The 28-year-old bruiser has four assists, 17 SOG, 49 PIMs and a -2 plus/minus through 37 games this season prior to his latest injury.

Allen allowed four goals on 28 shots (.857 SV%) for his second-straight loss as he was defeated by the Vegas Golden Knights in his last start. The 32-year-old Canadiens' starter has struggled all season, as shown by his 14-20-2 record, 3.36 GAA and .897 SV%. He takes on the Carolina Hurricanes, who have won seven of their last nine games and are third in the NHL in shots per game (35.2).

Markstrom allowed three goals on 33 shots (.909 SV%) for his fifth-straight loss as he was defeated by the Minnesota Wild in his previous start. The 33-year-old has had a 2022-23 season to forget, with his 15-17-8 record, 2.94 GAA and .890 SV%. He will take on the Dallas Stars, who are in the midst of a three-game winning streak and are 10th in the NHL in shots per game (32.5).

Meier participated in line rushes at practice this morning in a regular jersey. The 26-year-old had 31 goals, 52 points and 255 SOG through 57 games with the Sharks prior to being traded. Meier's next chance to make his Devils debut will come Sunday in Arizona.

Cotter has 11 goals, four assists, 61 SOG, 10 PIMs and a -4 plus/minus through 43 games played this season but will be a healthy scratch Friday. New acquisition Teddy Bleuger will take his spot in the Golden Knights' lineup.

Lazar missed the Canucks last six games with a lower-body injury. He has just two goals and three assists in 45 games this season. He'll likely slot into the Devils' bottom-six and should see some time on the penalty-kill.

Allens stopped 38 of 39 shots (.974 SV%) for his fourth-win in five games as he beat San Jose in his previous start. The 32-year-old has improved his play as of late, yet still owns fairly ugly numbers with his 14-18-2 record, 3.35 GAA and .897 SV%. He will take on the Los Angeles Kings, who won their last game 6-5 over the Winnipeg Jets and are 11th in the NHL in goals per game.

Markstrom allowed four goals on 22 shots (.818 SV%) for his second-straight loss as he was defeated by the Colorado Avalanche in his last start. The 33-year-old has been horrendous this season, holding one of the leagues lowest SV%'s (.887 SV%) alongside his 15-15-8 record, and 2.96 GAA. He will face the Toronto Maple Leafs, who snapped a three-game winning streak with a 5-2 loss to Edmonton last night.

White has been a healthy scratch for the Ducks' previous two games but is expected to draw back into the lineup Wednesday. The 25-year-old has four assists, 20 SOG, six PIMs and a -8 plus/minus through 26 games this season.

Meier will have to wait to make his New Jersey debut after head coach Lindy Ruff announced it was unlikely he would join the lineup Wednesday. The 26-year-old had 31 goals, 52 points and 255 SOG through 57 games with the Sharks prior to being traded.
