Not starting after all Markstrom won't start for Sweden during Wednesday's game against Italy at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

Impact A previous report indicated that Markstrom would draw the start during Wednesday's tournament opener, but Filip Gustavsson will ultimately tend the twine against the host nation. Markstrom will still dress as the backup goaltender, and it's possible that he sees some playing time if the score gets out of hand.

Tending twine Tuesday Markstrom will patrol the home crease against Columbus on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Markstrom is coming off a 27-save performance in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over Nashville. He has a 15-12-1 record this campaign with a 3.24 GAA and an .881 save percentage through 29 appearances. Columbus is tied for 17th in the league with 3.09 goals per game this season.

Solid effort in OT win Markstrom stopped 27 of 29 shots on net in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.

Impact Markstrom allowed just two even-strength tallies and made six power-play saves en route to his sixth win of January. Overall, the 35-year-old netminder is up to a 15-12-1 record, a 3.24 GAA and an .881 save percentage across 29 outings this season. The veteran netminder is turning his season around game by game after a rough start to the season. Over his last seven appearances, he has a 5-2-0 record, a 2.56 GAA and an .893 save percentage. While New Jersey remains in the bottom half of the Metropolitan Division standings, they continue to flash signs of life, which should lead to Markstrom playing a competitive role down the stretch. With his recent turnaround, he holds solid fantasy value in two-goalie formats for the time being.

Over that four-game stretch, the Swede netminder has gone 3-1-0 with a 2.21 GAA and a .907 save percentage.
