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. The 32-year-old netminder will try to get back in the win column in a rematch with the same Stars squad Saturday.

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.

Markstrom is poised to tend the twine at home versus Dallas for Tuesday's Game 1 matchup, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

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.

Markstrom stopped 22 of 25 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

The loss snapped a modest three-game winning streak for the 32-year-old netminder. With Dan Vladar likely getting the start Friday in Winnipeg, Markstrom will finish the season with a 37-15-9 record and a strong .922 save percentage.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.
