Markstrom was shelled for six goals on 38 by the Edmonton Oilers in a 6-2 loss Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
This game was scoreless after one period before the Oilers broke the game open with three goals in the second and three more in the third. Markstrom has dropped six of his last seven decisions for the reeling Canucks, and his 2.73 GAA doesn't represent much of an improvement on his career 3.00 mark.

Markstrom will tend the twine Wednesday against the Oilers in Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom and veteran Ryan Miller continue to split the starts in net, and he's drawn the start for at least one more contest before the season concludes. Despite a 1-1 record against the Oilers this season, the 26-year-old netminder has allowed just three goals total on 58 shots over the two matchups. He should have a good chance to add even up his 12-13-4 record Thursday, squaring off against an Oilers club that has lost five of their last six games.

Markstrom stopped 34 of 36 shots in Friday's win over Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
A great rebound performance from Markstrom, who had given up seven goals in his last two outings. The 26-year-old continues to alternate starts with Ryan Miller and is now 12-13-4 on the season with a .918 save percentage. While he's had a couple poor showings of late, he shown this season he can steal games, so he could be worth getting in your lineup for these final games.

Markstrom will start in goal Friday against the Ducks, Jon Abbott of TSN 1040 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom continues to alternate starts with the veteran Ryan Miller, but the netminder's most recent outings have left much to be desired. However, he has a solid track record against the Ducks this season, appearing in two games (starting one) and accumulating a 1-0-0 record with a 0.79 GAA and .966 save percentage over that span. Still, a lack of offensive support combined with his recent showings make him a suspect option in both season-long leagues and daily lineups.

Markstrom allowed four goals on 31 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Sharks on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
That's now five straight losses for Markstrom, as he is continuing to falter along with his team of late. Despite the losing streak, he still has 11 wins on the season, which is a career high for the 26-year-old. It would be wise to steer clear of Markstrom as things wind down for the 2015-16 season.

Markstrom will draw the start in net for Tuesday's matchup with the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom has suffered four straight losses despite playing solid overall, so he'll look to get the Canucks back on track in Tuesday's start. It won't be easy, though, as the Sharks are heating up and are coming off a five-goal showing against the Kings on Monday. In 29 games this season, Markstrom has an 11-12 record, while he also owns a 2.62 GAA and a .917 save percentage.

Markstrom allowed four goals on 37 shots in Friday's loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
While Markstrom was busy, the Canucks barely tested opposing netminder Brian Elliott, who pitched a 15-save shutout. Markstrom has played well of late, but he's suffered four straight losses. The Canucks were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention Friday, so don't expect the netminder to go on a late-season winning surge. The 26-year-old's .917 save percentage is solid, but the Canucks just haven't been scoring enough for him to pick up many wins.

Markstrom will be in the crease in Friday's road game against the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was sharp in his last start, stopping 47 of 48 shots, but ultimately didn't get enough goal support to pick up his 12th win of the season. The 26-year-old netminder will look to get back in the win column Friday in a highly unfavorable road matchup with a hot St. Louis team that has won six of its last eight games.

Markstrom stopped 47 of the 48 shots he faced in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old was fantastic Tuesday, but received no goal support from his teammates. Under constant barrage by the Jets, Markstrom was finally beat by Adam Lowry early in the third period. Vancouver challenged the goal, looking for goaltender interference, but the call stood. Winnipeg later added an empty-net goal to ice the game. This was a tough one for Markstrom, who now has three straight losses.

Markstrom will defend the blue paint against the Jets on Tuesday, Brad Ziemer of the Vancouver Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom has been off his game lately, as he's posted a 2-3-0 record while registering a 2.83 GAA, including allowing five goals in his previous matchup with Winnipeg. That five tally outing was the sixth time this season the netminder has been beaten four or more times. On the flip side however, the 26-year-old also has six contests in which he allowed one or fewer pucks to bend the twine. All this makes it difficult to pin down which performance to expect out of Markstrom on Tuesday.
