He's only had one bad game out of four in this series, yielding only five goals on 104 shots overall.

Markstrom allowed three goals on 31 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 3. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

After two extremely low-scoring games in Calgary, Game 3 was a little more active. Markstrom struggled with rebound control -- both of Joe Pavelski's tallies came on second whacks at the pinata. It was still a decent outing for Markstrom, who has allowed just four goals across three contests. As such, the 32-year-old seems likely to get a chance to redeem himself in Monday's Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom was sharp in Thursday's Game 2 against Dallas, stopping 21 of 22 shots, but he ultimately came away with his first loss of the postseason due to a complete lack of goal support from his teammates.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom and the Flames shut out the Stars in Game 1, but they received a taste of their own medicine in Game 2. It's been fairly low-event hockey so far -- Markstrom's faced only 38 shots across the two contests. Expect the 32-year-old Swede to be in goal again for Saturday's Game 3 in Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom didn't face much rubber during Tuesday's Game 1 against Dallas, but he was up to the task when tested, stopping all 16 shots thrown at him en route to a 1-0 shutout victory. He'll try to help the Flames secure a 2-0 series lead by picking up a second straight win over the same Stars squad Thursday.

Markstrom posted a 16-save shutout in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Stars in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

The regular season's shutout leader tacked on one more to his count in his first playoff game as a Flame. Markstrom wasn't busy as the Flames controlled play early on and then protected him well over the final 40 minutes. The 32-year-old has a career 2.85 GAA and a .919 save percentage in 14 playoff games, all during the bubble postseason in 2020 as a member of the Canucks. He'll likely be the starter in every game of the Flames' playoff run as long as he stays healthy.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom is coming off a career year in which he set new personal bests in wins (37), shutouts (nine) and GAA (2.22). Based on his regular-season numbers, Markstrom should be among the Vezina Trophy nominees. In his three clashes with Dallas this year, the netminder went 1-0-1 with a .878 save percentage, not exactly the best track record heading into the postseason series.
