Markstrom allowed three goals on 15 shots in two periods of Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom wasn't sharp in this contest, and head coach Darryl Sutter inserted Dan Vladar for the third period. The move worked, as the Flames rallied from a two-goal deficit to get the win. This spared Markstrom from taking a loss -- he remains at 34-14-8 with a 2.19 GAA and a .924 save percentage in 58 appearances this season. The Flames have a tougher matchup Thursday at home against the Golden Knights.

Markstrom will start Tuesday's game against visiting Seattle, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom knocked the Kraken off in his last start, turning aside 27 of 28 shots in a 4-1 win Saturday. With just five combined goals allowed over a three-game winning streak, Markstrom should have a great shot at a fourth straight victory against road-weary Seattle, which owns the Western Conference's worst away record (11-22-3).

Markstrom made 27 saves in a 4-1 win over Seattle on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Seattle got better and better as the game went on, and Markstrom was the difference maker, just has he has been all season long for Calgary. Karson Kuhlman scored the only goal against him on a one-timer from one knee in the circle after a feed from behind the goal line. Markstrom is now 34-14-8 with a 2.16 GAA and .925 save percentage.

Markstrom will guard the road goal Saturday versus the Kraken, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom recently started eight games in a row, going 4-3-1 with a 2.88 GAA and a .900 save percentage before taking Thursday's game versus the Sharks off. He'll get back in the crease against a fairly easy opponent in the lowly Kraken, which makes the Swede a strong option for fantasy managers.

Markstrom stopped 26 of 28 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was solid once again in a game the Flames never trailed in. The 32-year-old has won two starts in a row to get back on track from a three-game skid. He's up to 33-14-8 with a 2.18 GAA and a .924 save percentage in 56 appearances. With the Flames finishing a back-to-back Thursday in San Jose, Dan Vladar may be due for a start, though no goalie announcement has been officially made yet.

EDGE Analysis
Markstrom will make his eighth straight start, and he'll go for consecutive wins after beating the Kings on Monday. In his last seven games, Markstrom is 3-3-1 with a 3.00 GAA and an .896 save percentage. The Ducks will welcome Troy Terry (eye) back, which boosts their scoring potential.

The 32-year-old has allowed 10 goals in his last four outings. He's up to 32-14-8 with a 2.19 GAA and a .924 save percentage through 55 appearances. The Flames have a back-to-back for their next two games, visiting the Ducks on Wednesday and the Sharks on Thursday.

Markstrom is expected to tend the twine versus the Kings on the road Monday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom continues to be a workhorse for the Flames as he will be making his seventh straight appearance in goal. In those prior six contests, the 32-year-old netminder went 2-3-1 with a less than stellar 3.16 GAA. If the Flames are going to maintain first place in the Pacific Division, Markstrom is going to need to improve his numbers down the stretch.

Markstrom allowed four goals on 23 shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blues. The last two goals were empty-netters.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom has had few duds this season, but this was one of them. He's now lost three games in a row, an unusually poor stretch that he's achieved just three times this season. The Swede is at 31-14-8 with a 2.19 GAA and a .924 save percentage in 54 appearances. The Flames begin a road trip Monday against the Kings.

Markstrom will guard the home goal during Saturday's matchup with the Blues, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom has been dialed in of late, having maintained an admirable 1.95 GAA and .935 save percentage through his last two appearances, but he's suffered back-to-back losses over that span due to a lack of goal support from his teammates. He'll look to get back in the win column in a home matchup with a St. Louis squad that's averaging 3.42 goals per game on the road this year, sixth in the NHL.
