Markstrom made 32 saves on 34 shots in a 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
In a closely contested game, Markstrom was the netminder that was able to make the extra save against the high-powered Bruins. He kicked aside all five power-play shots he faced and Boston could not get any of their four overtime shots by him as he finished with a .941 save percentage. In his past six starts, Markstrom has four wins, a .918 save percentage and a 2.59 GAA. Although he has been strong as of late, Markstrom's inconsistency makes him a risky starting goalie in fantasy. However, his potential and the Flames' playoff push offer a glimmer of hope.

Markstrom was pulled Saturday after allowing four goals on 12 shots in a 5-0 loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom allowed two goals in the first period before surrendering another two in a 1:29 span early in the second. This night should be forgotten and left behind, as Markstrom is an elite performer who should be able to bounce back. He continues to hear his name swirling as a possible trade chip, which has to be wearing him a bit thin.
