Markstrom (undisclosed) did not play Friday against Carolina because "he wasn't 100 percent ready," Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom was expected to start the contest, so it appears that the injury isn't too serious and his absence Friday was mostly precautionary. With nearly a week off until the team's next game on Jan. 13 against Ottawa, the veteran netminder should have plenty of time to heal.
