Markstrom allowed four goals on 34 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom missed two of the Flames' three games with what was deemed a minor undisclosed injury. The 31-year-old's return to the crease didn't go very well, in part from his own play and from the lack of offense from his teammates. Markstrom is down to 12-8-5 with a 2.23 GAA and a .924 save percentage in 25 appearances this season. The Flames' next game is currently scheduled for Tuesday at home versus the Panthers -- a team the Swede allowed six goals to in a 6-2 loss Jan. 4.

Markstrom (undisclosed) is on track to start between the pipes in Thursday's home game versus Ottawa, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom struggled in his last start last Thursday against the Panthers, surrendering six goals on 45 shots en route to a 6-2 defeat. The 31-year-old goaltender will try to shake off that poor performance and get back in the win column in a favorable home matchup with a Senators squad that's 4-9-2 on the road this year.

Markstrom (undisclosed) did not play Friday against Carolina because "he wasn't 100 percent ready," Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was expected to start the contest, so it appears that the injury isn't too serious and his absence Friday was mostly precautionary. With nearly a week off until the team's next game on Jan. 13 against Ottawa, the veteran netminder should have plenty of time to heal.

Contrary to a previous report, Markstrom will not get the start Friday against Carolina.

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.
