Markstrom turned aside 43 of 45 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Canucks on Saturday. The third goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom did everything he could to keep the Flames in the game, but the team in front of him was sloppy in their own zone and ineffective at challenging Thatcher Demko with shots at the other end of the ice. The 31-year-old Markstrom took his first loss in four games to the Canucks this season. He dropped to 7-4-1 with a 2.33 GAA and a .925 save percentage in 12 starts. Chalk this one up to bad luck, as the Swede should continue to provide solid goaltending should he get the start for Monday's game in Vancouver.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom was fantastic in his last start Thursday versus Vancouver, stopping 33 of 34 shots en route to a 3-1 victory. The 31-year-old netminder will attempt to secure his eighth win of the season in a road rematch with the same Canucks club Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom continued his dominance of his former team in strong showing Thursday. Through three appearances against the Canucks this year, the Swede has allowed only three goals on 93 shots while collecting three wins. Overall, Markstrom has a 7-3-1 record with a 2.36 GAA and a .921 save percentage in 11 outings. The Flames and Canucks meet three more times in the next week, and the games are spaced well enough that Markstrom could start all three of them. He makes for a reliable fantasy option in virtually all formats.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom allowed a pair of goals to Nikolaj Ehlers, but both shots were well-taken. The Flames' offense covered that damage and helped Markstrom pick up his sixth win in 10 starts. He's added a 2.50 GAA and a .916 save percentage with two shutouts this season. The Flames' next four games are against the defensively suspect Canucks -- Markstrom should have a good chance at picking up wins when he starts, although his former team could give him some hassles as well.

While it wasn't the prettiest performance, the Swede improved to 5-3-1 with a 2.55 GAA and a .914 save percentage in nine games this season. The Flames' next game is at home Tuesday versus the Jets, and Markstrom will likely tend the twine again.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom is tabbed for his first Battle of Alberta. The 31-year-old netminder has been fantastic this season, recording a .920 save percentage and a 2.37 GAA, but he sports a mere 4-3-1 record. Markstrom has a tough matchup on tap, however, as the Oilers have averaged 3.5 goals per game powered by the sheer dominance of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom will be back between the pipes after getting the night off versus Winnipeg on Monday. In his previous two contests, the 31-year-old netminder posted a 2-0-0 record with a 1.44 GAA. Given backup David Rittich's struggles, Markstrom could see a heavy dose of starts this season.
