Markstrom made 20 saves during a 2-1 defeat to the visiting Oilers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom stopped the first five power-play shots he faced from the NHL's No. 1-ranked unit Tuesday but yielded the game-winner during a third-period penalty-kill situation. The 32-year-old netminder made his seventh start in eight games, falling to 11-9-4. Markstrom's outing was highlighted by denying Leon Draisaitl on three quality scoring chances during a second-period power play.

Markstrom allowed two goals on 23 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom extended his winning streak to three games, though the Ducks offered more of a challenge than the Sharks did in his previous two outings. He's allowed more than three goals just once in eight games in December. The 32-year-old goalie improved to 11-8-4 with a 2.84 GAA and an .894 save percentage in 24 outings, though his numbers are trending in the right direction. The Flames have a back-to-back right after the holiday break as they host the Oilers on Tuesday and visit the Kraken on Wednesday. Markstrom and Dan Vladar should once again split those starts.

Markstrom will get the starting nod in Anaheim on Friday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
With a pair of wins over San Jose in his last two outings, Markstrom has improved to 10-8-4 with a disappointing .893 save percentage and 2.88 GAA through 23 appearances. He's been slightly better on the road with a 2.67 GAA across 10 games. Prior to his last two wins against the Sharks, Markstrom was stuck in a six-game losing skid.

Markstrom allowed three goals on 27 shots in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
The Flames had a 2-0 lead 30 seconds into the game, but some leaky play later on saw the Sharks tie it at 3-3 in the third period. Markstrom was steady from then on, and the Flames finished with four unanswered goals to earn him his second straight win. The 32-year-old improved to 10-8-4 with a 2.88 GAA and an .893 save percentage in 23 starts this season, but a couple of wins against an inferior opponent should help his confidence. The Flames have games Thursday in Los Angeles and Friday in Anaheim to close out this California road trip -- expect Markstrom and Dan Vladar to split those starts.

Markstrom allowed two goals on 26 shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom entered Sunday 0-4-2 over his previous six games, but the Flames' explosive start to the third period helped him get back in the win column. The 32-year-old has allowed more than three goals just once in his last eight outings. He's now at 9-8-4 with a 2.88 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 22 contests this season. It appears Markstrom has reclaimed the No. 1 job he briefly lost to Dan Vladar, though the former's season numbers remain rather pedestrian.
