Markstrom stopped 21 shots during Saturday's 3-2 victory over the visiting Jets.
EDGE Analysis
About four minutes before Neal Pionk tied the game at 1-1 Saturday, Markstrom executed a highlight-reel save on a shot from the left face-off circle by Mark Scheifele. The 32-year-old netminder was out of position so he improvised and barrel-rolled through the crease to deny the quality scoring chance and help the struggling Flames to their first win in eight games (1-5-2). Making his 11th start, Markstrom improved his personal record to 5-3-2.

EDGE Analysis
Markstrom has allowed at least three goals in each of his last five starts. In defense of his play Tuesday, he started for the second straight night and the third time in four days, so fatigue could have been a factor. He has a 4-3-2 record, 2.97 GAA and .893 save percentage in 10 games this season.

Markstrom allowed four goals on 32 shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom and the Flames were good at the start, but the Islanders battled back, scoring twice in a span of 59 seconds midway through the third period to tie the game. In overtime, a Rasmus Andersson interference penalty set the stage for Noah Dobson to snipe the game-winning tally on the power play. Markstrom has now given up 14 goals while going 0-2-2 across his last four outings. He's at 4-2-2 with a 2.95 GAA and an .897 save percentage in nine starts overall. Dan Vladar will likely get the nod for the second half of a back-to-back Tuesday in New Jersey.

Markstrom allowed four goals on 35 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom and the Flames had an ugly first period, but the goalie bounced back to play well over the last 40 minutes of regulation. The offense tied the game, but a penalty in overtime eventually led to Fabian Zetterlund netting the game-winner. Markstrom dropped to 4-2-1 through eight appearances, and he sports a 2.84 GAA and a .900 save percentage. The Flames leave Alberta for the first time this season, beginning a three-game road trip against the Islanders on Monday before facing the Devils on Tuesday and the Bruins on Thursday. Expect Markstrom to start two of those contests.

Markstrom will patrol the crease as Saturday's home starter versus the Devils, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom will look to right the ship after suffering a 4-1 loss to the Predators on Thursday. Naturally, he's been much better at home this season, as he's undefeated through four games to complement a .925 save percentage at Scotiabank Saddledome. For the sake of comparison, he's winless with an .870 save percentage through three road contests. While that statistical split works in his favor, it's worth noting that the Devils have rattled off five straight wins.

EDGE Analysis
Markstrom, who has dropped consecutive decisions, could not extinguish the Flames' recent home woes. After surrendering two goals in the opening 2:27 of the second period, the 32-year-old netminder held the Predators silent for nearly 36 minutes, but the Flames, who are 3-4-0 during the current eight-game homestand, could not mount a rally. Markstrom fell to 4-2-0.
