Markstrom said that he will have surgery on his knee next week, meaning he is very likely out for the rest of the season.
EDGE Analysis
It's somewhat tragic that Markstrom's season will end as a result of a friendly skills competition but sometimes that's just how it goes in sports. After a hot start to the season in which he won his first three starts with a combined five goals allowed, the 27-year-old keeper was never able to completely regain his form and did not win consecutive games until his season-ending injury. He'll rehab his injured knee and will look to come back strong for the 2017-18 campaign.
