EDGE Analysis

David Rittich was traded to the Maple Leafs on Sunday, and he'll be starting opposite Markstrom on Tuesday. With Rittich out of the picture, Markstrom should continue to handle a workhorse role down the stretch. The 31-year-old is coming off a 17-save shutout over the Oilers. Through 29 appearances this year, he's registered a .901 save percentage and a 13-14-2 record. The Maple Leafs sit fifth in the NHL with 3.33 goals per game.

Markstrom posted a 17-save shutout in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom wasn't overly challenged Saturday, and he received plenty of goal support. The 31-year-old snapped his six-game losing streak with the win. He improved to 13-14-2 with a 2.91 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 29 outings. Fantasy managers will hope this is the start of a rebound toward his career norms after a lengthy run of poor play from Markstrom.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has lost his last six games, posting an ugly 3.44 GAA and an .881 save percentage in that span. He should be well rested, as the Flames haven't played since Monday. The Swede will need to be sharp to quiet the Connor McDavid-led Oilers.

Markstrom yielded five goals on 30 shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom's losing skid hit six games with the rough outing against the Maple Leafs. The 31-year-old dropped to 12-14-2 with a 3.02 GAA and an .898 save percentage in 28 appearances. The Flames as a whole are in a tailspin, and Markstrom hasn't been able to bail them out. They're back in action Saturday versus the Oilers, which gives head coach Darryl Sutter a few days to work some things out in practice.

Markstrom will guard the home net in Monday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has lost five straight starts while posting an .892 save percentage and a 3.08 GAA. It'll be quite difficult to pull himself out of this rut against the Maple Leafs, who have won six of seven games while averaging 2.9 goals.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old Swede slipped to 12-13-2 with a 2.94 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 27 outings. The Flames return home for a back-to-back versus the Maple Leafs on Sunday and Monday -- Markstrom and David Rittich will likely split those games.
