Markstrom agreed to terms on a three-year contract extension with the Canucks on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom split time with veteran Ryan Miller last year but should be given the opportunity to solidify himself as the starter in Vancouver. The netminder set a career high for games played during the 2015-16 campaign at 33 and posted a 13-14-4 record. If he wants to become a dependable No. 1 option, the 26-year-old will need to lower his 2.73 GAA.
