Markstrom will defend the blue paint during Thursday's home game versus Carolina, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom wasn't great in his last start Sunday versus Vegas, surrendering three goals on 28 shots en route to a 3-2 defeat. The 31-year-old backstop will try to bounce back and secure his 11th win of the year in a tough home matchup with a Carolina club that's 10-3-1 on the road this season.
