EDGE Analysis
Markstrom wasn't great against the Jets' power play, which scored twice on six opportunities. It's a third straight loss for Markstrom, although he's done well to keep the Flames competitive. Overall, the Swede has a 12-11-2 record with a 2.85 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 25 outings. With the second half of a back-to-back Saturday, David Rittich could be in line for a start.

EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was pretty sharp in his last start Wednesday against Ottawa, stopping 28 of 30 shots, but he ultimately suffered his 12th loss of the season due to insufficient goal support from his teammates. He'll attempt to snap his two-game losing streak in a home matchup with a Winnipeg team that's 10-6-1 on the road this year.

EDGE Analysis
Ottawa's final goal was scored into an empty net. After a scoreless first period, the Flames grabbed a lead in the second, but Markstrom couldn't stem the tide in the third. The 31-year-old has lost three of his last four starts, and on the season he carries a 2.84 GAA and .904 save percentage.

Markstrom will guard the cage for Wednesday's road clash with Ottawa, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom will be making his ninth appearance in the club's last 10 contests. During that stretch, the Swedish netminder went 4-3-1 with a 2.87 GAA and .890 save percentage. In his previous clash with the Senators, Markstrom gave up just two goals on 23 shots but was still saddled with the loss due to a lack of offensive support.

Markstrom turned aside 21 of 23 shots Monday in a 2-1 loss to Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
Ottawa's Chris Tierney buried a rebound in the slot to break a 1-1 draw with 2:26 left in regulation, handing Markstrom a heartbreaking defeat. Markstrom owns a sub-.900 save percentage for the month of March, but throw out last week's 7-3 loss to Edmonton and that number is a far more respectable .911. Markstrom will try getting back into the win column in Wednesday's rematch with the Senators.
