EDGE Analysis

Markstrom got stuck behind a team that was on its heels a bit too much all game long. He kept his team in the contest, but the Hurricanes were too much with their cycle and sustained pressure. Markstrom is going to be a busy man in New Jersey this season, although back-up Jake Allen is a more-than-capable starter for stretches should Markstrom need a break.
