Markstrom led the Canucks out to the ice for pregame warmups Saturday, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports. As a result, he'll be the home starter versus the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

The starting nod goes to Markstrom, despite the fact that alternate goalie Anders Nilsson defeated this team on the road with a 30-save performance Nov. 14. At any rate, Markstrom catches the Kings at a particularly good time, as the royal club has lost two straight with only a pair of goals scored over that span.
