Markstrom yielded three goals on 28 shots in a 4-3 shootout win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Two power-play goals by Kyle Connor saw Markstrom and the Flames down after the first period, but they battled back. Strong play from the 31-year-old Markstrom kept things close and he saved three of four attempts in the shootout to seal the win. The Swede improved to 4-2-1 with a 2.27 GAA and a .924 save percentage through seven appearances. With the second half of a back-to-back in Winnipeg on Tuesday, David Rittich is likely in line for his second start of the year. Markstrom's next turn is most likely Thursday to close the three-game series versus the Jets.

Markstrom will guard the road goal during Saturday's clash with the Canadiens, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom struggled in his last start Tuesday against Toronto, surrendering four goals on just 21 shots en route to a 4-3 defeat. The 30-year-old backstop will attempt to bounce back and pick up his third win of the season in a tough road matchup with a hot Montreal team that's 5-0-2 this year.

Markstrom yielded four goals on 21 shots in a 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom saw one-way traffic during the first period, and he allowed a pair of goals. The Flames tilted the ice away from their goalie after that, but Markstrom leaked another pair of goals to take his second straight loss. The 30-year-old is 2-2-1 with a 2.63 GAA and a .911 save percentage in five starts. The Flames hit the road for a two-game set in Montreal on Thursday and Saturday -- Markstrom is likely to start at least one of those games, if not both. David Rittich awaits his season debut if Markstrom falters.

Markstrom will patrol the crease in Tuesday's home game versus Toronto, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom will make his fifth straight appearance in goal for the Flames, having gone 2-1-1 with a .928 save percentage in his last four outings. The Swedish tender continues to get the nod over David Rittich, who has been relegated to the backup role. At this point, Markstrom may not get a night off until Calgary's back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday versus the Jets.

Markstrom turned aside 29 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
The netminder allowed one goal in each period, and that was enough to hand Markstrom his first regulation loss of the season. Overall he's looked very good to begin his Calgary tenure, posting a .928 save percentage through his first four starts after signing a big six-year contract as a free agent in the offseason.

EDGE Analysis
Markstrom has been excellent to being his tenure in Calgary, posting a .935 save percentage and a 2-0-1 record through three games. Both of the offenses he has faced are in the top-10 of scoring thus far. The Maple Leafs aren't far from that category, as they rank 13th with 3.17 goals per game through six contests.

Markstrom made 25 saves on 27 shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
While not as impressive as Saturday's shutout win, Markstrom can't be faulted for either of the goals against Monday. Both of the Canucks' scoring plays deflected in off of a Flames defenseman. Markstrom has his second win of the year under his belt, and he's allowed only six goals on 93 shots (.935 save percentage) in three contests so far. The Flames are off until Sunday versus the Maple Leafs -- Markstrom will have plenty of time to rest ahead of that game.

Markstrom will defend the home net in Monday's game against the Canucks, Aaron Vickers of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was outstanding against his former team Saturday, steering away all 32 shots sent his way. The 30-year-old netminder will look to follow up that effort Monday. The Canucks were plenty talented before, and now they'll get J.T. Miller -- who recorded 27 goals and 72 points last year -- back from COVID-19 protocol.
