Jacob Markstrom left Wednesday night's game against the Boston Bruins in the first period after Bruins Justin Brazeau crashed into Markstrom's net, sending the Devils goaltender awkwardly into his goal post. Head coach Sheldon Keefe announced that Markstrom "will miss some time," and they'll have a better idea of his status soon.

Markstrom is 21-9-5 with a 2.20 goals-against average, .912 save percentage and three shutouts in 36 games for the Devils (27-17-6), who are in third place in the Metropolitan Division behind the Washington Capitals and the Carolina Hurricanes.

New Jersey Devils goaltender Jacob Markstrom will be sidelined four to six weeks due to an MCL sprain, the team announced Friday.
