Markstrom stopped 30 of 31 shots faced in Friday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom's lone slip-up was a third-period goal scored by Owen Power. Overall, it was a solid debut for the veteran backstop and puts him on the path to get back over the 30-win threshold for just the second time in his NHL career. With the two teams back at it Saturday, Jake Allen figures to get the starting nod, while Markstrom should be in line to feature in the home opener versus Toronto on Oct. 10.
