Markstrom will protect the road goal Saturday versus the Oilers, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom will get the nod for his second season-opening contest with the Flames. The Swede went 22-19-2 with a 2.66 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 43 games last year. He projects to see a majority of the workload in 2021-22, with Daniel Vladar serving as his understudy.
