Markstrom allowed three goals on 33 shots (.909 SV%) for his fifth-straight loss as he was defeated by the Minnesota Wild in his previous start. The 33-year-old has had a 2022-23 season to forget, with his 15-17-8 record, 2.94 GAA and .890 SV%. He will take on the Dallas Stars, who are in the midst of a three-game winning streak and are 10th in the NHL in shots per game (32.5).

Meier participated in line rushes at practice this morning in a regular jersey. The 26-year-old had 31 goals, 52 points and 255 SOG through 57 games with the Sharks prior to being traded. Meier's next chance to make his Devils debut will come Sunday in Arizona.
Cotter has 11 goals, four assists, 61 SOG, 10 PIMs and a -4 plus/minus through 43 games played this season but will be a healthy scratch Friday. New acquisition Teddy Bleuger will take his spot in the Golden Knights' lineup.
Lazar missed the Canucks last six games with a lower-body injury. He has just two goals and three assists in 45 games this season. He'll likely slot into the Devils' bottom-six and should see some time on the penalty-kill.
Allens stopped 38 of 39 shots (.974 SV%) for his fourth-win in five games as he beat San Jose in his previous start. The 32-year-old has improved his play as of late, yet still owns fairly ugly numbers with his 14-18-2 record, 3.35 GAA and .897 SV%. He will take on the Los Angeles Kings, who won their last game 6-5 over the Winnipeg Jets and are 11th in the NHL in goals per game.

Markstrom allowed four goals on 22 shots (.818 SV%) for his second-straight loss as he was defeated by the Colorado Avalanche in his last start. The 33-year-old has been horrendous this season, holding one of the leagues lowest SV%'s (.887 SV%) alongside his 15-15-8 record, and 2.96 GAA. He will face the Toronto Maple Leafs, who snapped a three-game winning streak with a 5-2 loss to Edmonton last night.
White has been a healthy scratch for the Ducks' previous two games but is expected to draw back into the lineup Wednesday. The 25-year-old has four assists, 20 SOG, six PIMs and a -8 plus/minus through 26 games this season.
Meier will have to wait to make his New Jersey debut after head coach Lindy Ruff announced it was unlikely he would join the lineup Wednesday. The 26-year-old had 31 goals, 52 points and 255 SOG through 57 games with the Sharks prior to being traded.
Allen stopped 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%) for his third win in four games as he beat Philadelphia in his previous start. The 32-year-old has struggled all season, with his 13-18-2 record, 3.42 GAA and .895 SV%. He will face the San Jose Sharks, who have lost five of their last six games after a 4-3 shootout loss to Chicago last game.
MacDermid left the Avalanche's previous game after 3:49 TOI due to a concussion after fighting Milan Lucic and will now miss Monday's game vs. Vegas as he remains in concussion protocol. The 28-year-old bruiser has four assists, 14 SOG, 49 PIMs and was a -2 plus/minus prior to the injury.
Ibragimov was a sixth-round pick in 2019 and came to North America in 2022 after spending the 2021 season in Finland. Ibragimov has spent the entire season in the ECHL, picking up 11 goals and 21 assists (32 points) in 53 games.
Emond was a sixth-round pick in 2018 and has appeared in just four games this season with Wichita (ECHL). During his time in the AHL a season ago, Emond was 3-4-2 with a 4.48 GAA and .867 SV%.
Hatakka appeared in nine games with the Sharks a season ago but missed most of this year due to injury. He's spent the entire season in the AHL, picking up two assists in eight games. He'll likely report to Binghamton (AHL).
Meier enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2022, scoring 35 goals with 41 assists (76 points) in 77 games. He carried that over into 2023, picking up 31 goals and 21 assists (52 points) in 57 games while ranking third in the NHL in shots on goal (255). In New Jersey, Meier could slot in on a line with fellow Swiss native Nico Hischier. This solidifies the Devils' top-6, with Meier and Hischier driving one line and Jack Hughes on the other. Meier should also bolster their top power-play unit, which is currently 19th in the NHL (20.5%).
