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.
