Markstrom was absent from Saturday's practice due to the flu.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom can be considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's home contest against the Sharks. The Swede's had trouble against divisional foes of late, as he took 5-2 losses against the Wild on Feb. 15 and the Flames four days later. It's too early to tell if Markstrom or Ryan Miller will make the next start for the Canucks.
