Jacob Markstrom's 18 OT saves can't save Devils in Game 5

Jacob Markstrom, the New Jersey Devils' goaltender, broke his goalpost after allowing Sebastian Aho's overtime goal in Game 5, fueling his frustration. Despite making 49 saves, including 18 in overtime, he couldn't prevent Carolina from tying the series at 3-3. Markstrom's performance was otherwise strong, but a lack of offense and critical mistakes left the Devils on the brink of elimination. His deal to improve the team's goaltending has yet to bear fruit, as his efforts fell short in this crucial game.
