Markov recorded an assist in his third straight game in Thursday's shootout loss to the Capitals. Markov is poised to finish his age-36 season with his best numbers since the 2008-09 campaign. With nine goals, 46 points, and a plus-19 rating over 78 games, he's been among the most valuable fantasy assets from the blue line, a pleasant surprise for a player whose performance was probably expected to decline at this stage of his career. He's made GM Marc Bergevin look wise for gifting him a three-year extension last June.
