Markstrom made 22 saves in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Washington collected a goal in each period on impressive individual efforts by the likes of Evgeny Kuznetsov and Alex Ovechkin to march to victory, while Calgary wasn't able to solve Darcy Kuemper at all in the opposite crease. Markstrom's big workload seems to be dragging him down this season, as he's allowed at least three goals in four of his last five starts and nine of his last 11, leaving him with a 3.03 GAA and .889 save percentage.

Markstrom stopped 23 shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Calgary handed Markstrom a 2-0 lead midway through the first period, and he never allowed Philadelphia to find an equalizer. The veteran netminder is 4-1-0 over his last five starts and 8-4-2 on the season, but he has yet to regain last year's form consistently and carries a disappointing 3.03 GAA and .889 save percentage.

Markstrom is expected to guard the road goal Monday against Philadelphia, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom is coming off a 31-save effort in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over Florida. He has a 7-4-2 record this season with a 3.11 GAA and an .887 save percentage. Philadelphia has gone winless in six straight games (0-4-2) going into Monday's contest.

Markstrom allowed four goals on 35 shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
While it was another middling goaltending performance for Markstrom, he matched Spencer Knight shot-for-shot in the contest. Despite 14 goals allowed in his last four games, Markstrom has picked up three wins in that span. The Swede is up to 7-4-2 on the year with a 3.11 GAA and an .887 save percentage through 14 starts. He's started four games in a row, and five straight would match his season high if he gets the nod Monday in Philadelphia. Given the Flyers' recent struggles, head coach Darryl Sutter might think that matchup is a good one to give to backup Dan Vladar.

Markstrom made 20 saves in a 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday. He allowed three goals.
EDGE Analysis
He was hard on himself after the game, but the loss was hardly on him. "We get it back to a one-goal lead, and then they score right after that," Markstrom said after the game. "That can't happen. If you look at the numbers, I've got to be better. I've got to step up there." He hasn't delivered numbers like his previous seasons, but a turnaround is coming.

Markstrom will guard the road goal Thursday versus the Lightning, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom will get the first start of the Flames' six-game road trip. He's won his last two outings despite giving up seven goals on 52 shots in that span. The Lightning have scored 22 times over the last six contests, so they'll likely present a challenge as Markstrom goes for three straight victories.

Markstrom made 24 saves, including a highlight-reel effort during the final minute of Monday's 6-5 victory over the streaking Kings.
EDGE Analysis
With 21 seconds to go and the Kings attempting to complete a third-period rally and force overtime, Anze Kopitar eyed an open net. Stretching from the other side of the crease, Markstrom did the splits to deny the Kings' sniper and snap the Kings' four-game winning streak. The 32-year-old netminder has led the Flames to consecutive wins after a seven-game winless skid (0-5-2). Markstrom (6-3-2), who faced only four second-period shots Monday, earned his ninth win in 16 career starts versus the Kings.
