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.
Allen will guard the home goal versus the Flyers on Wednesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. Allen lost to the Flyers in Philadelphia on Monday, allowing three goals on 25 shots.
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 NHL announced that Jacob Markström was named to the Calgary Flames Quarter-Century Second Team. Here's a look back at his career in red.
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.
