The New Jersey Devils have acquired goaltender Jacob Markstrom in a trade with the Calgary Flames. They sent 23-year-old defenseman Kevin Bahl and a top-10 protected 2025 first-round pick to the Flames for Markstrom. The Devils have been looking for a goalie and targeting Markstrom for quite some time. The 34-year-old will be part of a tandem with fellow veteran Jake Allen next season.
