Markstrom will guard the home net Saturday against the Blackhawks, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom will make a third straight start since returning from a lower-body injury. He's dropped his last two outings, allowing four goals on 57 shots in that span. The 33-year-old Markstrom will look to get back in the win column against a Chicago team that's been shut out twice in their last three games. Overall, Markstrom is 13-13-2 with a .909 save percentage and 2.69 GAA this season.

Markstrom stopped 27 of 31 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jackets. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom has given up four goals in back-to-back outings after doing so just once in his previous 10 starts. The Flames' offense has fallen flat with only 12 goals scored over the last five games. Markstrom will need more support than that to keep them in the wild-card race. The 33-year-old is down to 13-13-2 with a 2.69 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 28 appearances. The Flames' last game before the bye week is Saturday against the Blackhawks.

Markstrom allowed four goals on 26 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
After missing Calgary's last three games with a lower-body injury, Markstrom got off to a good start Tuesday, blanking St. Louis in the opening frame. However, he'd allow four goals over the final two periods, including three unanswered tallies, in the eventual 4-3 defeat. The 33-year-old Markstrom had won three straight contests prior to his injury, posting a .939 save percentage in that span. Overall, he falls to 13-12-2 with a .910 save percentage and a 2.64 GAA this season.

EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was originally expected to backup Dan Vladar after taking part in Saturday's morning skate. However, the 33-year-old Markstrom will ultimately miss his third straight contest.

EDGE Analysis
Markstrom won three straight games, stopping 93 of 99 shots, prior to missing the past two contests. The 33-year-old Markstrom appears healthy enough to at least back up Vladar on Saturday, lining him up for a potential home start Tuesday versus St. Louis. Markstrom is 13-11-2 this season with a .912 save percentage and 2.59 GAA.

Markstrom sustained a lower-body injury that will sideline him versus Arizona on Tuesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom has been hampered by injuries this season, having previously missed seven games due to a fractured finger in December. Since returning from that problem, the 33-year-old Swede is 7-3-0 with a 2.02 GAA but now faces another stint on the shelf. Dan Vladar will get the start against the Coyotes without Markstrom in the lineup while Dustin Wolf steps into the backup role.
