The New Jersey Devils have signed veteran goaltender Jacob Markstrom to a two-year contract worth $12 million, the team announced. The deal provides stability in net for the Devils as they head into the 2024-25 season.

Markstrom's new contract mirrors the value of his expiring six-year, $36 million deal with the Calgary Flames, from which the Devils acquired him during the 2024 offseason. This indicates a similar financial commitment to the player despite the shorter term.

The 16-year veteran brings a wealth of experience to the Devils' roster. Markstrom has played for several NHL teams including the Florida Panthers, Vancouver Canucks, and Calgary Flames. He is known for his strong play and veteran leadership. His addition strengthens the Devils' goaltending depth and provides a reliable presence between the pipes.

The Devils' decision to retain Markstrom suggests confidence in his abilities and a desire to build upon the team’s performance in the coming seasons. Details regarding the contract’s structure, such as signing bonuses or no-trade clauses, have not yet been released.
