Markstrom stopped 33 of 34 shots in Friday's 1-0 overtime loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was a big reason why the score remained at 0-0 through regulation, making a number of key saves to stay in lockstep with his opposite number Dustin Tokarski. In overtime, it was Markstrom's misplay in the slot that left Tage Thompson to bury the puck into a vacant net for the decisive goal. Despite the late gaffe, this was Markstrom's fourth game in his last five to limit opponents to one or fewer goals, but that's little consolation given the result. He's now at 29-11-7 with a 2.07 GAA and a .928 save percentage in 48 appearances. It's unclear if Markstrom or Daniel Vladar will guard the cage Saturday in Vancouver.

Markstrom gave up three goals on 33 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
The Devils kept it close initially, but the Flames' three goals in a span of 3:29 during the second period gave Markstrom a lead he could protect. The Swede has won four straight contests, allowing just five goals in that span. He improved to 29-11-6 with a 2.09 GAA and a .927 save percentage through 47 outings. The Flames host the Sabres on Friday before visiting the Canucks on Saturday -- Markstrom and Daniel Vladar will likely split those contests.

Markstrom will tend the twine at home against New Jersey on Wednesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom is undefeated in regulation in his last six outings, having posted a 5-0-1 record and 1.84 GAA. With just one more victory, the 32-year-old Swede will set a new career best in wins, topping the 28 he earned in 2018-19 with Vancouver. Given the offensive cast around him, Markstrom should continue pilling up victories heading into the home stretch of the regular season.

Markstrom made 19 saves in a 3-0 win over Detroit on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
It was his NHL-leading ninth shutout this season. What kind of season is he having? It's simple -- Markstrom had eight shutouts combined in his first 11 NHL seasons.Yes, 11 seasons. Few people are talking about him for the Hart trophy as the player most valuable to his team, but few have been as instrumental to their team's success.

Markstrom allowed one goal on 28 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers' lone goal came on a fluky bounce off the referee on a dump-in that created chaos in front of the net. Markstrom was otherwise able to handle everything he saw coming, including killing off four penalties. He's won six of his last eight games, and he's allowed just one goal in four of those starts. For the season, he's at 26-11-6 with a 2.14 GAA and a .926 save percentage in 44 outings. He's just two wins shy of matching his career-high 28 from the 2018-19 campaign.
