Markov scored a goal and assisted on another in Montreal's 5-4 win over Philadelphia on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Markov rebounded from a harrowing game Friday, when he was minus-4 in the Habs' 10-0 loss to the Blue Jackets, to record his first multi-point effort of the season, which included his first goal of the season. Montreal head coach Michel Therrien has him on the second defensive pairing, which has reduced his ice time to the 20-minute range. That's about three-to-five minutes fewer per game from previous seasons, but he still gets ample ice time on the power play and should be a top-20 point producer among defensemen, given good health.
