Cotter will be a healthy scratch on Thursday vs. Seattle.

Cotter has been held without a point in five straight contests and will head to the press box Thursday vs. Seattle as he is replaced by Pavel Dorofeyev (undisclosed). The 24-year-old Cotter is in his third NHL season and has already passed career highs in games played (65), points (22) and PIMs (39) in 2023-24.

Markstrom (lower body) has been cleared for full practice and game participation.

Markstrom has missed the last five games due to a lower-body injury but could return to the crease as soon as Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks. Dustin Wolf will likely serve as Markstrom's backup for the duration of the season as Dan Vladar is set to undergo season-ending hip surgery.

Allen will start on Thursday vs. Winnipeg.

The Devils will return to Allen in the crease for the third straight game on Thursday when they face off against the Winnipeg Jets. Allen has been excellent since being acquired in a pre-deadline trade, allowing only six total goals in three games (2-1-0), and posting a tremendous .946 SV%. That said, the Devils enter action as +109 home underdogs against a Jets club that has outscored their opposition 16-3 during a three-game winning streak.

Jake Allen
Allen will start on Tuesday vs. Pittsburgh.

The Devils will turn to Allen for the third time in the last four games since he made his team debut less than a week ago. Allen has been tremendous in two games (1-1-0) as a Devil, saving 69 of 73 combined shots (.945 SV%). The Devils' offence has been limited to only one goal in three of their last four games (1-3-0), but they enter action against the Penguins as -125 home favourites.

Foote (undisclosed) hurt himself during his return and did not travel on the Devils' recent road-trip.

Foote last appeared in an NHL contest nearly a year ago on March 24th, 2023 and has suffered a setback after being activated from injured reserve on Monday. The 23-year-old left-winger originally suffered his injury in pre-season and spent a week on a conditioning loan with Utica (AHL) before being activated.

Allen is in the starter's crease at Tuesday's morning skate.

The Devils will likely turn to Allen for the third time in the last four games since he made his team debut less than a week ago. Allen has been tremendous in two games (1-1-0) as a Devil, saving 69 of 73 combined shots (.945 SV%). The Devils' offence has been limited to only one goal in three of their last four games (1-3-0), but they enter action against the Penguins as -125 home favourites.

Markstrom (lower body) skated for the first time Monday and hopes to return on Saturday vs. Vancouver.

Markstrom has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury and will miss at least one more. Dustin Wolf has filled in admirably so far since Markstrom's injury, saving 67 of 70 shots (.957 SV%), winning both of his starts, and will start again Monday against the Washington Capitals.

Jacob Markstrom
Daws has been reassigned to Utica (AHL) on Monday.

With the Devils' recent acquisitions of Kaapo Kahkonen and Jake Allen, Daws has become the odd-man out and has been reassigned to the Utica Comets (AHL). Daws struggled to be consistent between the pipes for the Devils this season, posting a 3.15 GAA and .894 SV% in 21 games (9-11-0).
