"The Devils called up Nico Daws from their AHL affiliate on Wednesday with the expectation he'll work in tandem with veteran Jake Allen, who left their 3-2 win Monday over the Columbus Blue Jackets with cramping. Markstrom played for 20 minutes and stopped eight of the nine shots that he faced."
"Markstrom's injury also comes at a time in which the Devils are managing other injuries throughout their lineup. Forward Evgenii Dadonov, who signed a one-year deal in free agency, was moved to injured reserve after suffering a hand injury last Thursday in their season opener. The injury list also includes forward Stefan Noesen along with defensemen Seamus Casey and Johnathan Kovacevic. Keefe told reporters that Noesen is getting closer to returning. Casey has resumed skating but will remain out of the lineup while Kovacevic is skating but will still be out for months."
Jacob Markstrom is expected to miss a couple of weeks with a lower-body injury. He has won two of his first three games but carries a 3.89 goals-against average and a .845 save percentage. The Devils called up Nico Daws from their AHL affiliate to work alongside veteran Jake Allen, who left a recent game with cramping. Daws has split time between the NHL and AHL, appearing in 52 games since 2021-22 and posting strong recent numbers at the AHL/NHL level. The team is also managing injuries to Evgenii Dadonov, Stefan Noesen, Seamus Casey and Johnathan Kovacevic, with varying recovery timelines.
