After clinching the divisional crown a week ago, Markstrom and the Flames will look to finish the regular season strong against a tough Wild squad that's 29-8-2 at home this season. Markstrom has won three games in a row and has posted a sparkling .922 save percentage and 2.21 GAA in a whopping 62 appearances in 2021-22.

Markstrom allowed two goals on 23 shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
The Stars kept themselves in it well, but the Flames' offense gave Markstrom just enough support to work with. This is his third straight win, and he's allowed just five goals in that span. For the season, the Swede is at 37-15-8 with a 2.21 GAA and a .922 save percentage through 62 contests. It's likely Markstrom could start up to three of the Flames' last four games. Their home finale for the regular season is Saturday against the Canucks.

Markstrom will defend the blue paint during Thursday's home game versus the Stars, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom has played well recently, picking up back-to-back wins over the Coyotes and the Blackhawks while posting an admirable 1.50 GAA and .940 save percentage. He'll try to secure a third straight victory in a home matchup with a slumping Dallas team that's lost three of its last four contests.

Markstrom stopped 22 out of 24 shots in Monday's 5-2 victory over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Calgary's offense did most of the work on Monday, but Markstrom was solid when needed en route to his second-consecutive victory. The win was number 36 on the year for the Swedish goaltender, just one shy of Juuse Saros for the league lead. Markstrom may see his workload reduced down the stretch, with the Flames having already clinched a playoff spot. When in net, Markstrom remains an upper-tier goalie option.

Markstrom is expected to be between the pipes against Chicago on the road Monday, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom has appeared in 12 of the Flames' last 13 contests and is showing no sign of slowing down despite the team having already secured its spot in the playoffs. With a league-high nine shutouts this season, the 32-year-old netminder could be in line for a Vezina Trophy nomination at the end of the season.

Markstrom allowed a goal on 26 shots in Saturday's 9-1 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom allowed a goal to Nick Ritchie 30 seconds into the game and then settled in as the Flames posted nine unanswered tallies. This was an encouraging performance for Markstrom after he was pulled from his last two starts, but it came against a weak team. He improved to 35-15-8 with a 2.22 GAA and a .923 save percentage in 60 outings, matching his career high in games played from the two seasons prior to the pandemic. The 32-year-old could be given more rest down the stretch, as the Flames have clinched a playoff spot and are in the driver's seat to take first place in the Pacific Division. Their next game is Monday in Chicago.

Markstrom will start between the pipes in Saturday's home game versus the Coyotes, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom struggled in his last start Thursday against Vegas, surrendering four goals on just 17 shots before being replaced by Dan Vladar in the second period of the eventual 6-1 loss. He'll try to shake off that lousy performance and secure his 35th win of the season in a favorable home matchup with a free-falling Arizona team that's lost five straight contests.

Markstrom allowed four goals on 17 shots before he was replaced by Dan Vladar in the second period in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
The Golden Knights took control with three goals in a span of 4:19 during the second period, which ended Markstrom's night. It's the second game in a row the 32-year-old goalie's been pulled from. Unlike Tuesday's game versus the Kraken, the Flames couldn't get him off the hook this time. Markstrom is at 34-15-8 with a 2.24 GAA and a .922 save percentage in 59 appearances. He'll match his career high in games played with his next outing, which could be as soon as Saturday versus the Coyotes.
