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.

Markstrom was one of seven players placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Wednesday, leading the league to postpone Calgary's next two games.

EDGE Analysis

Even with the NHL suspending a few extra contests, Markstrom still will have to produce two negative test results in order to be cleared to play again, and that's if he's vaccinated and asymptomatic. Otherwise, he'll be out for a minimum of 10:days. In the meantime, the Flames will likely turn to Daniel Vladar while calling up a backup from AHL Stockton.

Markstrom and the Flames will see their next three games postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak within the club, the team announced Monday. As of now, Calgary will be back in action versus Columbus on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom was not among the six players that entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Monday, which means he is still in line to start against the Jackets, though no official announcement has come from the team as to the starter. If the 31-year-old netminder does get the nod, he'll be looking to break out of a three-game losing streak during which he posted a 3.00 GAA and .889 save percentage.

Markstrom made 23 saves Saturday in a 4-2 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

The ice was tilted toward Boston 'tender Linus Ullmark, who faced 42 shots. Markstrom has scuffled recently -- he is 2-3-1 in his last starts. But the Flames continue to lead the Pacific and that's the thing that really matters.

Markstrom is expected to start Saturday against visiting Boston, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has been fantastic lately, posting a 1.85 GAA and .934 save percentage over his last eight starts. His GAA on the year is actually a smidge better at 1.84, which is tops in the NHL among goalies with more than eight appearances. He'll face a Bruins squad that sits 27th in the NHL with 64 goals for this season.
