EDGE Analysis

Markstrom missed two of the Flames' three games with what was deemed a minor undisclosed injury. The 31-year-old's return to the crease didn't go very well, in part from his own play and from the lack of offense from his teammates. Markstrom is down to 12-8-5 with a 2.23 GAA and a .924 save percentage in 25 appearances this season. The Flames' next game is currently scheduled for Tuesday at home versus the Panthers -- a team the Swede allowed six goals to in a 6-2 loss Jan. 4.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom struggled in his last start last Thursday against the Panthers, surrendering six goals on 45 shots en route to a 6-2 defeat.

Markstrom (undisclosed) did not play Friday against Carolina because "he wasn't 100 percent ready," Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom was expected to start the contest, so it appears that the injury isn't too serious and his absence Friday was mostly precautionary. With nearly a week off until the team's next game on Jan. 13 against Ottawa, the veteran netminder should have plenty of time to heal.

Contrary to a previous report, Markstrom will not get the start Friday against Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

In his place, Daniel Vladar will make his second start in as many days. Markstrom last played on Jan. 4 when he allowed six goals in a loss to Florida.
