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

Former Calgary Flames goalie Jacob Markström will miss the upcoming 4 Nations Face-off due to injury as Sweden announced Samuel Ersson as his replacement.

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 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.

The Devils assigned goaltender Isaac Poulter to AHL Utica on Thursday, per a team announcement. The move banks a bit of cap space during a three-day break in the schedule, but he’s not expected to return to the roster when they leave for a two-game road trip to Buffalo and Pittsburgh.

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.

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

Isaac Poulter has been called up from the Utica Comets, though it appears Nico Daws might also get an opportunity with the New Jersey Devils. The changes stem from Jacob Markstrom's injury, which is expected to keep him out for at least four weeks.

Arvid Soderblom should have made Team Sweden in place of Jacob Markstrom. He is having a better year than Sam Ersson.
