EDGE Analysis
Markstrom will be out for the third game in a row. Dustin Wolf will get another start, with Dan Vladar serving as backup. Markstrom's next chance to play is Monday versus the Capitals, but the Flames are off for four days after that, so it's possible they'll use that break to give their top goalie a chance to get healthy.

Markstrom will defend the home goal versus Colorado on Tuesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom wasn't great in his last start Saturday against the Panthers, surrendering five goals on 31 shots en route to a 5-1 defeat. He'll try to return to the win column in a tough home matchup with a rolling Avalanche team that's won five of its last six games.

Markstrom made 26 saves in a 5-1 loss to Florida on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Flames played well in front of him in the first. But the flood gates opened once Vladimir Tarasenko stole the puck and scored 23 seconds into the second. The Panthers pressured the Flames, forcing turnovers and giveaways that not even the strong Markstrom could stop. With the Flames D decimated by deadline trades, Markstrom may struggle to deliver the same kind of numbers as he did earlier this season.

He has emerged victorious in five of his past six outings to improve to 22-16-2 this season with a 2.62 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 40 appearances.

Markstrom made 19 saves in a 6-3 win over Tampa Bay on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was solid throughout the game, which has been the mantra of the netminder's entire season. He's 5-1-0 in his last six starts and 14-7-0 in 21 starts since the December break. And that's for a team outside the playoffs. Markstrom's name may continue to swirl in trade rumors until Friday's deadline, but he has a full no-move clause and will need to agree to any move. At 34, he remains a cornerstone for the Flames, and they want to be competitive next season. That means Markstrom will likely stay in Calgary. But never say never.

Markstrom allowed four goals on 30 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
The Flames never found a go-ahead goal in the contest. Markstrom did alright, but gave up a goal early in the third period to Adam Larsson and a shorthanded tally to Jared McCann off a turnover later in the frame. This snapped Markstrom's four-game winning streak, dropping him to 21-16-2 with a 2.61 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 39 appearances this season. The Flames are set for a tough three-game road trip with stops in Tampa Bay, Florida and Carolina between Thursday and Sunday.
