Markstrom allowed three goals on 25 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom had a 2-1 lead to protect in the third period, but a couple of misplays -- including one of his own -- led to the Oilers rallying ahead. The defeat dropped Markstrom to 4-1-0 with 14 goals allowed in six appearances this season. The Flames have had a pretty tough slate of opponents and done well so far despite Markstrom's rather pedestrian numbers. It gets slightly easier to start November, as their next game is Tuesday at home versus the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has won two straight contests, stopping 57 of 60 shots, since being pulled Oct. 20 against Buffalo. He has a 4-0-0 record this year with a 2.50 GAA and a .907 save percentage through five appearances. Markstrom went 2-2-0 versus the Oilers last year with a 3.54 GAA and an .884 save percentage.

Markstrom stopped 32 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom didn't face much traffic early on, but he was dialed in as the Penguins began to chase the game. He yielded only a power-play goal to Evgeni Malkin in the second period. Markstrom enjoyed his sharpest game of the season and appears to be trending in the right direction with only three goals on allowed on his last 60 shots faced. The Flames don't play again until Saturday versus the Oilers, though it's unclear if head coach Darryl Sutter will continue to roll with Markstrom or get Dan Vladar in for a spot start.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom is coming off a 25-save performance in last Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Carolina. He has won three of his four starts this campaign. Pittsburgh will look to rebound following a 6-3 loss to Edmonton on Monday night.

Markstrom allowed two goals on 27 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

It didn't start well for Markstrom, as the Flames were down 2-0 just 10:28 into the game. From there, he got dialed in, allowing the Flames to pull off a comeback win capped by Tyler Toffoli's overtime tally. A good offense and solid defense have helped Markstrom to a 3-0-0 record through four starts, though he's allowed 10 goals on 85 shots and was pulled from one game. Fantasy managers in weekly leagues should be aware that the Flames play just twice next week -- they host the Penguins on Tuesday and the Oilers on Saturday, both of which could be tricky matchups for the 32-year-old netminder.

Markstrom will be in the home crease against Carolina on Saturday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom was pulled from his last start after 20 minutes, as he gave up three goals on 12 shots to the Sabres on Thursday. Markstrom is still 2-0-0, as he wasn't saddled with the 6-3 loss to Buffalo, but he's given up eight goals on 58 shots to start the season. He will face the Hurricanes, who have scored 15 goals in just four games.

Markstrom allowed three goals on 12 shots in a 6-3 loss to the Sabres on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Sabres' speed shocked the Flames, and Markstrom's early-season struggles were evident in the opening frame. Dan Vladar finished the contest decently, but the offense couldn't catch up. Markstrom was spared the loss this time, but he's now allowed eight goals on just 58 shots in his three outings, despite posting a 2-0-0 record. The 32-year-old could just need some time to settle in, and he's still expected to start roughly twice a week, but fantasy managers will want him to get on track soon. The Flames have a tough test ahead with the Hurricanes paying a visit Saturday.

Markstrom is expected to start Thursday versus Buffalo, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom was the first goaltender off the ice following Thursday's morning skate, which is usually a good gauge of who the starter will be. He has a 2-0-0 record, 2.50 GAA, and .891 save percentage in two starts this season. Buffalo wasn't expected to be a particularly big threat going into the season, but the Sabres are 2-1-0 and have scored 11 goals over that span, so they might give Markstrom some trouble.

Markstrom allowed two goals on 21 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom gave up a soft goal early in the first period and another tally before the intermission. He settled down after that, helped by the fact the Flames took over the possession battle to fuel a comeback win. While allowing five goals on 46 shots over his first two games isn't impressive, Markstrom has earned a pair of wins. The Flames' defensive structure has kept his workload light, but the 32-year-old has room to improve as the season progresses.

Markstrom is expected to start Tuesday against Vegas, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom stopped 22 of 25 shots in a 5-3 win against Colorado on Thursday. Like the Avalanche, Vegas is a tough assignment, especially with the Golden Knights off to a 3-0-0 start.
