Markstrom will be the starting goalie Friday in Carolina, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom's most recent start was a six-goal, 39-save loss to the Panthers. He's already faced the Hurricanes this year and lost in overtime despite stopping 24 of 26 shots. The 31-year-old enters Friday's game with a 2.15 GAA and .926 save percentage in 24 games this season.

Markstrom gave up six goals on 45 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Trips to South Florida have left many teams disappointed, and the Flames were no different after a lackluster showing. Markstrom suffered his worst loss of the season in this contest, dropping to 12-7-5 with a 2.15 GAA and a .926 save percentage in 24 games. The Swede has been mostly excellent this season, so we'll chalk this one up as an anomaly. Next up is Thursday's game versus the Lightning, which is another hard matchup.

Markstrom will guard the road goal in Tuesday's game versus the Panthers, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has won his last two games, allowing five goals on 53 shots in that span. He'll face a significant challenge from the high-scoring Panthers, though the hosts will be missing Sam Bennett (suspension) and Sam Reinhart (COVID-19 protocols) from their forward corps.

Markstrom allowed one goal on 31 shots in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom had to shake off the rust Thursday versus the Kraken, but he was sharp as ever Sunday. Only Alex DeBrincat was able to get a puck past Markstrom in the contest. For the season, the Swedish netminder is at 12-6-5 with a 1.99 GAA and a .930 save percentage in 23 games. The Flames continue their road trip against the Panthers on Tuesday.

Markstrom will get the starting nod for Sunday's game in Chicago, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom will make his second straight start since the Flames returned from a lengthy COVID-19 related hiatus. The 31-year-old is 11-6-5 with a stellar 2.03 GAA and .929 save percentage through 22 games this season. He's 7-3-1 with a .942 save percentage on the road.

Markstrom allowed four goals on 22 shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't a pretty performance, but Markstrom was able to end his three-game losing streak in a back-and-forth battle. The Swede has still allowed 13 goals in his last four starts. For the season, he's at 11-6-5 with a 2.03 GAA and a .929 save percentage through 22 games. Markstrom will likely be in goal again Sunday versus the Blackhawks.

Markstrom is expected to be between the pipes for Thursday's road clash with Seattle, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Daniel Vladar (COVID-19 protocols) still unavailable, the Flames called up Dustin Wolf to serve as the No. 2 behind Markstrom. The 31-year-old netminder is currently stuck in a three-game losing streak during which he has allowed nine goals on 81 shots (.889 save percentage), he is still sporting a personal-best 1.94 GAA and could push for the 30-win threshold for the first time in his NHL career.

Markstrom has cleared the NHL's COVID-19 protocols, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom went 5-3-2 with a .930 save percentage through the 10 games leading up to his COVID-19 induced absence. He will look to snap a three-game losing streak the next time he starts between the pipes for Calgary.

Markstrom (COVID-19 protocols) and the Flames won't face the Oilers on Monday due to COVID-19 postponements.

EDGE Analysis

Calgary's next game is scheduled for Thursday in Seattle, though that contest could also be in doubt due to cross-border travel. Markstrom will need to clear protocols before he's able to return to the ice.

Markstrom and the Flames will be shut down through the NHL's holiday break with their next scheduled game currently Dec. 27 versus Edmonton, per the NHL's release Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Considering the Flames have 18 players in the league's COVID-19 protocols, even returning to action Dec. 27 seems like a long shot. Still, it will be a situation for fantasy players to monitor in the coming days if they have Markstrom in their leagues. For now, Daniel Vladar has yet to enter the protocols and would be the presumptive starter against the Oilers.
