The Fourth Period: The New Jersey Devils and Jacob Markstrom continue their contract extension talks for a multi-year deal. The 35-year-old is in the last year of his $6 million per deal. Both sides have said they want to work something out.

Kevin Weekes reported last week that the Devils’ initial offer was for $5 million a season, though the number of years wasn’t given.

League sources say that Markstrom could be looking for more money, and he hopes to get a deal done soon. The Devils have plenty of cap space available for next season, currently around $18 million.
