Markstrom gave up one goal on 25 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom allowed a goal to Matthew Highmore 1:02 into the game, but the Swedish goalie was perfect after that. The 31-year-old Markstrom has a 20-19-2 record with a 2.62 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 41 contests. The Flames' last three games are all against the Canucks, although it remains to be seen how often Markstrom is deployed with nothing but pride on the line.

Markstrom will get the starting nod at home versus Vancouver on Thursday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom will be making his 14th consecutive appearance in the crease for the Flames after posting a 7-6-0 record and 2.09 GAA in his last 13 outings. After Thursday's contest, Calgary has three games left on the schedule, including a back-to-back to close out the season, which means the 31-year-old backstop will be well poised to reach the 20-win mark for the fourth straight year.

Markstrom stopped 19 of 20 shots in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was solid when called upon Sunday, although the Flames' offense was the star of the contest. The 31-year-old goalie improved to 19-19-2 with a 2.66 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 40 appearances. The Flames are off again until Thursday, at which time Markstrom will likely be back between the pipes against the Canucks.

Markstrom is expected to start Sunday's game against the Senators, Pat Steinberg of Flames Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marsktrom didn't participate in Sunday's optional morning skate but is expected to get the nod in net since Calgary's other goalie options were working with the scratches. The 6-foot-6 Swede gave up four goals to the Oilers on Wednesday after holding nine of his previous 10 opponents to no more than two goals. He'll look to get back on track against a Senators team that's just 9-17-1 on the road, though Ottawa is 8-1-1 in its last 10 games overall.

Markstrom gave up four goals on 19 shots in Wednesday's 4-0 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom and the Flames fell behind just 1:09 into the game on an Adam Lowry goal. After that, the Jets proved efficient with their chances, and Markstrom suffered his third loss in his last four starts. The Swede dropped to 18-19-2 with a 2.70 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 39 appearances. The Flames are off until Sunday versus the Senators, so Markstrom should be well-rested if he gets that start.

Markstrom will guard the home cage during Wednesday's game versus the Jets, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was solid in his last start Saturday against the Oilers, turning aside 25 of 27 shots, but he still ultimately suffered his 20th loss of the season due to weak goal support from his teammates. The 31-year-old backstop will attempt to get back in the win column in a home matchup with a free-falling Winnipeg team that's lost seven straight games.

Markstrom allowed two goals on 27 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers. The last two goals were empty-netters.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers used Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on the same line, and Markstrom wasn't able to silence them for a second straight game. The Swede dropped to 18-18-2 with a 2.67 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 38 appearances this season. The Flames haven't been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, but their hopes are dimming -- Markstrom could see a lighter workload once they are officially out of the running.

Markstrom is in line to start between the pipes in Saturday's road matchup with the Oilers, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was razor sharp in his last start Thursday versus Edmonton, stopping 30 of 31 shots en route to a 3-1 win. The 31-year-old goaltender will try to secure his 19th victory of the season in a rematch with the same Oilers squad Saturday.

Markstrom made 30 saves on 31 shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
The only goal against Markstrom came on a first-period shot by James Neal. The 31-year-old Markstrom improved to 18-17-2 with a 2.68 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 37 appearances. The Swede will likely be in goal again for Saturday's rematch with the Oilers, and fantasy managers will want a similar performance.
