Markstrom will guard the home goal during Friday's preseason clash with the Canucks, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has yet to play this preseason, so he may have some offseason rust to shake off Friday night. The 31-year-old netminder will enter the 2021-22 campaign as the Flames' unquestioned No. 1 netminder with Daniel Vladar serving as his backup.
