Markstrom made 34 saves in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

A Gustav Lindstrom tally early in the second period was the only puck to get past him, and it needed some help -- the sharp-angle shot went in off Rasmus Andersson. Markstrom has won starts on either side of a two-game absence due to a minor upper-body injury, and they were two of his best efforts of the season. His 3-6-1 record may be rough, but his 2.72 GAA and .905 save percentage could improve rapidly if the 33-year-old netminder is rediscovering his peak form.

Markstrom (upper body) will guard the road net Tuesday against Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom will return to crease after missing the past two games due to an upper-body issue. Calgary also sent Dustin Wolf, who was up with the big club on an emergency basis, back to the minors Tuesday. Markstrom has a 2-6-1 record with a 2.91 GAA and an .896 save percentage through nine games this season. The Canadiens sit 23rd in the league this campaign with 2.87 goals per contest.

Markstrom (upper body) is expected to miss Saturday's road game versus Ottawa, per Brendan Parker of Flames TV.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has a 2-6-1 record, 2.91 GAA and .896 save percentage in nine contests this season. This will be the second straight game he's missed due to the injury. Dustin Wolf is expected to start Saturday, and he'll be backed up by Dan Vladar.

Markstrom is dealing with an upper-body injury that will keep him out of action against Toronto on Friday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Officially labeled day-to-day, Markstrom hasn't been ruled out versus Ottawa on Saturday. Still, if the veteran backstop can't play, Dustin Wolf figures to make his second career NHL start against the Senators. With Markstrom sporting a 2-6-1 record and a 2.91 GAA, he could find himself battling to hold on to his starting job.

Markstrom was absent from Friday's game-day skate and hasn't practiced since Tuesday's matchup with Nashville, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom brought a seven-game losing streak to a close with his win over the Predators on Tuesday but appears to have suffered an undisclosed injury along the way. The club hasn't provided any specifics regarding the nature of Markstrom's injury but Dan Vladar is set to start against Toronto on Friday.

Markstrom stopped 16 of 18 shots in the Flames' 4-2 win over the Predators on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

After allowing two goals in the first period, Markstrom was able to settle down and shut the door on the Predators the rest of the way. The Flames offense would score four unanswered goals to earn Markstrom his second win of the season. This win snaps a seven-game losing skid for the Swedish goaltender as he and the Flames look to get on track. Friday against Toronto could mark the next start for Markstrom.

Markstrom will protect the home goal Tuesday against Nashville, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has posted a mark of 0-6-1 in seven outings since winning Opening Night against Winnipeg. He has recorded a 3.03 GAA and an .897 save percentage through eight games played. The Predators have 32 goals across 11 contests this campaign.

Markstrom turned aside 26 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

The Flames have floundered to begin the season, going 2-7-1, and Markstrom is bearing the brunt of it. He's lost seven straight starts, going 0-6-1 with a 3.03 GAA and .892 save percentage over that stretch, but he can't be faulted for Wednesday's defeat as all the pucks that beat him were the result of deflections, screens and defensive breakdowns. First-year Calgary coach Ryan Huska hasn't hinted that Markstrom's starting job is in danger yet -- backup Dan Vladar's numbers have been even worse to begin the year, but prospect Dustin Wolf has gone 4-0-0 with a 2.71 GAA and .921 save percentage through four AHL appearances.

Markstrom is slated to guard the home net versus Dallas on Wednesday, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom won his season-opening start, but since then he's posted an 0-5-1 record, 2.86 GAA and .897 save percentage in six outings. Dallas is in a three-way tie for 18th offensively with 3.00 goals per game, but the Stars' strong goaltending has propelled them to a 5-1-1 start. Markstrom struggled against Dallas last year, stopping just 49 of 59 shots (.831 save percentage) over two contests.

Markstrom allowed four goals on 33 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom would settle down in the final two periods after allowing three goals in the opening frame, but he'd ultimately take the loss as the Flames couldn't overcome the early deficit in Sudnay's Heritage Classic. Markstrom's now lost five consecutive starts, as he falls to 1-5-1 with a .901 save percentage this season. The 33-year-old netminder will look to get back in the win column in his next start, likely to come Wednesday at home against the Stars.
