Bruins forward Justin Brazeau had crashed into Markstrom after a shot attempt in the crease 3:09 into the second period of the Devils’ 5-1 win on Wednesday. After Markstrom deflected the shot aside, Brazeau slid into Markstrom, crushing Markstrom’s left leg and foot against a goal post.

Goalie Jake Allen came in cold, but he picked up his first win since Nov. 23 at Washington. He stopped all 16 shots he faced. Allen denied David Pastrnak, a 60-goal scorer, minutes after entering the game. He made a split toe save on Oliver Wahlstrom and robbed Charlie Coyle on a breakaway as well during the game.
