New Jersey Devils goaltender Jacob Markstrom sustained an injury on Wednesday night at Prudential Center. At the 3:09 mark of the second period, Boston Bruins forward Justin Brazeau crashed into Markstrom. He was called for goaltender interference as New Jersey's goaltender remained down on the ice.

Goalie Jake Allen came in cold, but he picked up his first win since Nov. 23 at Washington. He stopped all 16 shots he faced. Allen denied David Pastrnak, a 60-goal scorer, minutes after entering the game. He made a split toe save on Oliver Wahlstrom and robbed Charlie Coyle on a breakaway as well during the game.

The Devils might have suffered a serious blow to one of their most important players. Starting goaltender Jacob Markstrom left Wednesday’s game against the Boston Bruins in the second period after a collision at the net.
