Status report
Markstrom, the Devils’ No. 1 goalie, will be shut down for the final three games of the regular season for rest and to rehabilitate nagging injuries, coach Sheldon Keefe said Friday. … Gibson is expected to start after leaving in the second period of a 6-3 win against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday because of a stiff neck.
