Markstrom lost both of his starts and allowed 3 goals in both contests and posted a .915 SV%. The Panthers have two veteran netminders with Jose Theodore and Scott Clemmensen so that is likely why Markstrom is going back to the AHL. However it doesn't sound as if Markstrom will be in the AHL for long.

Markstrom made 37 saves on 40 shots against the Penguins in his only other start this season.

Markstrom will make his first NHL start of the season. He is a great goalie prospect and with the Panthers struggling they are going to give the young kid a shot. I would assume Markstrom is up for good unless he plays terribly. However it can't get much worse than it already is. I would avoid starting him vs. Pittsburgh though.

With both of the Panthers goalies struggling this season they have recalled Markstrom who is one of the NHL's best goalie prospects. Markstrom was 49-47-4 with a 2.65 GAA and .918 SV% in his 100 career AHL starts. He is also 2-5-1 in eight starts in the NHL. He could start tomorrow for the Panthers when they take on Philadelphia. Playing for Florida will limit his fantasy value but if he can stay up with the Panthers he could be a good pickup for people in Keeper leagues.

Markstrom is regarded as one of the NHL's best goalie prospects, had a shot to make the Panthers in camp but it looks like they're going to with Jose Theodore and Scott Clemmensen for another season.

Markstrom could be this years' Cory Schneider if he lives up to all the hype. If you're feeling gutsy, take a flier on him in your draft's last round.

Sounds like Markstrom is fully healthy. Look for him to get back to form in the minors and possibly get another look if Clemmensen or Theodore get hurt again.

Seeing Markstrom on the ice is a great sign for the top prospect. Expect him to go back to the AHL once healthy in order to get back in game shape.

Markstrom gets back on the ice, which is a good sign. The Cats will proceed with caution with their stud prospect.

Markstrom took a maintenance day today but is not expected to miss any playing time. At the very least, expect the prized prospect to backup Scott Clemmensen.
