Andrei Markov was on the ice for just 15:47 minutes on Wednesday. Markov got an assist in his return from a knee injury, but he had no points in the four games that followed. It's reasonable to assume that he has to shake off some rust after being sidelined for 483 days. All the same, we wouldn't be surprised if he makes some tangible improvements in the final weeks of the season.
