Devils Goalie Jacob Markstrom Out 4-6 Weeks with MCL Sprain

The injury, sustained during a collision in Wednesday's game, puts his participation in the Four Nations Face-Off in doubt.

Jacob Markstrom, the New Jersey Devils' starting goaltender, suffered an MCL sprain during a game against the Boston Bruins on Wednesday.
The injury occurred when Bruins forward Justin Brazeau collided with Markstrom, causing him to crash into the post.
Markstrom will miss 4-6 weeks and begin rehabilitation under the team's athlete care staff, ruling him out of upcoming games before the Four Nations break.
His status for Sweden's Four Nations Face-Off tournament in February remains uncertain, with sources suggesting his participation will be challenging.
Veteran Jake Allen is expected to take over as the Devils' primary goalie, with Isaac Poulter recalled from the AHL to provide backup.
