Markstrom will guard the road cage during Thursday's matchup with Montreal, Sportsnet's Eric Francis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom was pretty solid in his last start Tuesday against the Sharks, stopping 22 of 24 shots, but he ultimately suffered his fifth loss of the season due to insufficient goal support from his teammates. The 31-year-old netminder will try to get back in the win column in a road game versus a struggling Canadiens club that's 2-5-1 at home this year.
