Markstrom Misses Time After Injury vs Bruins | DAMAGE UPDATE

Jacob Markstrom left Wednesday night’s game against the Boston Bruins in the first period after the Bruins’ Justin Brazeau crashed into Markstrom’s net and sent the Devils goalie awkwardly into the goal post.

Head coach Sheldon Keefe announced that Markstrom “will miss some time” and they will have a better idea of ​​his status soon.

“We’re going to take some time before we have the full scope on (Markstrom), but I talked to him and he was in good spirits,” Keefe said. “He commented to me that he’s doing a lot better now than he was before, so that’s positive news.”

Markstrom lay face down on the ice in obvious discomfort and was attended to by the team’s athletic therapist. Although he appeared to have difficulty getting off the ice using the crossbar of his net for support, Markstrom eventually skated off on his own.

He was replaced by Jake Allen, and Markstrom did not return to the Devils bench for the rest of the game.
