Markstrom traded to Panthers by Devils for 3 forwards

The Florida Panthers acquired goalie Jacob Markstrom from the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday in exchange for forwards Evan Rodrigues, Jesper Boqvist, and Ben Steeves. Markstrom, 36, posted a 23-19-1 record with a 3.07 GAA and .883 save percentage in 44 games for New Jersey this season, and holds a career record of 264-231-64 with a .907 save percentage across 578 regular-season games. Markstrom, who began his NHL career with Florida and recently signed a two-year, $12 million contract with the Devils starting next season, returns to the Panthers as the team also acquired goalie Akira Schmid, likely signaling the departure of Sergei Bobrovsky.
