Markstrom is set to patrol the crease versus Edmonton at home Saturday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom will be back in the crease for the second game of the Flames' back-to-back after stopping 16 of 18 shots against the Coyotes on Friday. That was the lowest shot total the 32-year-old netminder has seen this season, which no doubt factored into the team's decision to go back to him versus Edmonton.

Markstrom stopped 16 of 18 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom faced 10 shots in the first period, but the Flames took control over the final 40 minutes. The 32-year-old gave up the first career tallies to both Michael Carcone and Vladislav Kolyachonok in this contest, though it's hard to fault Markstrom much on either goal. The Swede improved to 30-12-7 -- his first 30-win campaign -- with a 2.10 GAA and a .927 save percentage in 50 outings. Given the light workload Friday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him start again Saturday versus the Oilers.

Markstrom will get the starting nod at home versus the Coyotes on Friday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has actually been getting some games off of late, having watched from the bench in four of the club's last 10 contests. In the other six outings, the netminder went 4-1-1 with a 1.66 GAA, including a 19-save shutout over Detroit on March 12. While the team will likely try to keep him fresh for the postseason, Markstrom is the very clear No. 1 in Calgary and should continue to offer solid top-end fantasy value.

Markstrom allowed four goals on 38 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom allowed a couple of soft goals in the first two periods, but it was defensive breakdowns that allowed the Sharks to score twice in 28 seconds in the third. The last time Markstrom lost back-to-back outings was Jan. 4 and 13 -- a span in which he was deemed not 100 percent by head coach Darryl Sutter. The Swede's been more good than bad this year with a 29-12-7 record, a 2.11 GAA and a .927 save percentage in 49 appearances. The Flames continue their home stand with a back-to-back Friday versus the Coyotes and Saturday against the Oilers.

Markstrom will defend the blue paint during Tuesday's home game versus the Sharks, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom was excellent in his last start Friday against Buffalo, stopping 33 of 34 shots, but he ultimately came away with an overtime loss due to a complete lack of goal support from his teammates. He'll try to get back in the win column in a home matchup with a San Jose squad that's averaging 2.66 goals per game on the road this season, 24th in the NHL.

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 will start Friday against visiting Buffalo, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Currently riding a four-game winning streak and a sparkling 13-1-1 run with sensational ratios (1.85 GAA, .936 save percentage), Markstrom is as good as it gets between the fantasy pipes these days. The Sabres present a great matchup, as well, as they own a 9-17-4 road record and have averaged just 2.43 goals for away from KeyBank Center.

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.
