The New Jersey Devils are clinging to third in the Metropolitan Division, and they're about to be without star goalie Jacob Markström.

New Jersey Devils goaltender Jacob Markstrom will be out 4-6 weeks with a knee injury. The Swede was injured in a 5-1 win over the Bruins on Wednesday.

Team Sweden was dealt a blow on Jan. 22 when New Jersey Devils goaltender Jacob Markström was injured during the second period of a game against the Boston Bruins.

The Devils offense had a field day, but they watched Jacob Markstrom suffer what appeared to be a serious injury.

The New Jersey Devils could be without their starting netminder for a bit. In Wednesday’s game against the Boston Bruins, Devils netminder and former Calgary Flame Jacob Markström suffered an injury after Justin Brazeau crashed into him.

The former Calgary Flames goalie stayed down and needed assistance getting off the ice, eventually skating on his own. New Jersey head coach Sheldon Keefe said Markström "will miss some time," but he was in good spirits about this possible lower-body injury.

New Jersey Devils goaltender Jacob Markstrom left Wednesday’s game against the Boston Bruins with an undisclosed injury. The team would share a social media post from reporter Amanda Stein that confirmed Markstrom was done for the night on social media.

The apparent leg injury to New Jersey Devils goalie Jacob Markstrom on Wednesday night didn’t look good. Now, they hold their breath that they’ve avoided the worst possible outcome.

Devils goaltender Jacob Markstrom is expected to miss time after leaving Wednesday night's win over the Bruins following a collision in the crease.

The Devils recalled goaltender Isaac Poulter from AHL Utica on Friday, per a team release. He’ll serve as Jake Allen’s backup for the next four to six weeks after the team confirmed starter Jacob Markström sustained an MCL sprain in Wednesday’s game against the Bruins.

UPDATE: According to the MSG broadcast, there was no update on Jacob Markstrom on Wednesday night. Coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters, “We’ll take some time before we know the full extent on Marky. I talked to him, he is in good spirits. He’s going to miss some time.”
