Markstrom (finger) was on the ice with AHL Calgary on Wednesday, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom is working his way back from a fractured finger -- he at least was able to get in some practice time even if it wasn't with the Flames. The backstop is eligible to come off injured reserve at any point, though Thursday's clash with Minnesota seems unlikely considering he isn't practicing with the NHL club right now. In his stead, Dan Vladar and Dustin Wolf figure to continue to share the crease.

Markstrom (finger) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
In a corresponding move, Matthew Coronato was brought up from AHL Calgary on Saturday. Markstrom is considered week-to-week after sustaining a fractured finger during a practice session Monday. He has posted a 6-8-2 record this season with a 2.94 GAA and an .896 save percentage in 16 appearances. Dan Vladar and Dustin Wolf will compete for starts during Markstrom's absence.

Markstrom is week-to-week with a fractured finger, the Flames announced Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
According to the team, Markstrom won't require surgery for his fractured finger but will still be out of action for at least the next five contests. With the Swedish netminder on the shelf, the Flames have called up Dustin Wolf from the minors while Dan Vladar should see the bulk of the workload moving forward. Given his recovery timeline, Markstrom will likely be a candidate for injured reserve in the coming days.

Markstrom is being evaluated after taking a puck off his right hand during Monday's practice, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom left the ice immediately after the puck appeared to strike him on the inside of his blocker hand. He has posted a 6-8-2 record this season with a 2.94 GAA and an .896 save percentage in 16 appearances. If Markstrom is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with Minnesota, Dustin Wolf will probably be recalled from the minors.

Markstrom surrendered three goals on 21 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom didn't give up the decisive tally, but that was only because the Flames scored in the final minute to make Elias Pettersson's empty-netter the game-winner. This was Markstrom's first loss in three outings, but he's given up at least three goals in each of his last five games. Overall, he's at 6-8-2 with a 2.94 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 16 starts. The Flames' next game is Tuesday versus the Wild.

Markstrom will protect the home goal versus Dallas on Thursday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom wasn't great in his last start Friday against the Stars on the road, surrendering four goals on only 28 shots, but he still came away with a win thanks to a ton of goal support from his teammates. The 33-year-old netminder will try to secure a second straight victory in a home rematch with the same Dallas squad Thursday.

Markstrom (illness) was back at practice Wednesday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was originally expected to play versus the Golden Knights on Tuesday but was forced to sit out due to illness. With the backstop returning to practice, he should be the favorite to get the starting nod against Dallas on Thursday. In his last five outings, the 33-year-old Swede has gone 3-1-1 with a 2.97 GAA and .908 save percentage.
