Markstrom turned aside all 12 shots he faced in Monday's 5-0 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom entered Monday's matchup on a four-game winning streak, and he'll head into the NHL's Christmas break having recorded back-to-back shutouts for the first time since the 2021-22 campaign. The 34-year-old hasn't been tested much over the last two matchups -- he's faced a total of just 24 shots -- but that shouldn't take away from the dominant stretch he's had recently, as he's posted a .960 save percentage during his current five-game winning streak.

Markstrom made 16 saves in a 4-1 win over Chicago on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Jason Dickinson got credited with beating Markstrom in the second period. Dickinson wired a snap shot that rang the crossbar, bounced out and went in off the face of the New Jersey defender Luke Hughes. Markstrom's crossbar saved him a goal afterward when Connor Bedard rang it with a wrist shot. Markstrom is 5-0-1 in his last six games with just 11 goals allowed, four of which came in a single game back on Nov. 29. He's 15-6-2 in 23 starts this season, and his 2.35 GAA is the sixth-best in the NHL. Markstrom is a fantasy cornerstone who'll help you win.
