Markstrom will defend the blue paint in Thursday's home matchup with the Sabres, TSN 1040's Jeff Paterson reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom was highly impressive in his last start, stopping 23 of 24 shots en route to a 2-1 overtime victory over the Blues on Tuesday. The 26-year-old netminder will look to pick up his third win of the season Thursday in a favorable home matchup with a Sabres club that has only scored a total of six goals over their first three games of the season.
