According to Rick Dhaliwal of TSN 1040 Vancouver, Markstrom may be dealing with a minor lower-body injury ahead of Tuesday's Game 5 versus Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

If Markstrom is indeed banged up ahead of Game 5, Thatcher Demko will likely get the starting nod for Tuesday's must-win contest. More information regarding the Canucks' goaltending situation will undoubtedly surface prior to puck drop.

Markstrom (undisclosed) has been deemed unfit to play ahead of Tuesday's must-win Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom didn't look great during Sunday's Game 4, surrendering five goals on 33 shots en route to a 5-3 defeat, so it's quite possible whatever's holding him out of Game 5 was already bothering him during that contest. The 30-year-old Swede will have to hope his team will be able to stave off elimination without his help in order to have a shot at returning this postseason. In the meantime, Thatcher Demko will take over as the Canucks' starting netminder.

Markstrom gave up five goals on 33 shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom wasn't able to bounce back from a loss in Game 3 on Saturday -- he's now taken consecutive defeats for just the second time in the playoffs. The results versus the Golden Knights haven't been pretty, as Markstrom has given up 15 goals on 141 shots in four contests. He's still likely to start in Tuesday's must-win Game 5.

Markstrom will patrol the blue paint for Game 4 against Vegas on Sunday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom allowed three goals on 34 shots in the Game 3 loss Saturday and he'll be thrown right back into action Sunday on the second night of the back-to-back. He owns a pedestrian .907 save percentage and 3.56 GAA in three games this series.

Markstrom stopped 31 of 34 shots in a 3-0 loss to the Golden Knights in Saturday's Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom wasn't tested much in the first period, but he allowed two goals on nine shots in the first 20 minutes. He then faced 25 shots over the last two periods while the Canucks struggled to generate anything against Robin Lehner at the other end of the ice. Markstrom has now yielded 10 goals on 108 shots through three games in the series. That heavy workload could weigh on the Swede if he starts the second half of a back-to-back, as Game 4 is Sunday.

Markstrom will patrol the crease in Saturday's Game 3 showdown with Vegas, Thomas Drance of The Athletic Vancouver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom was excellent in Vancouver's Game 2 win, stopping 38 of 40 shots to tie the series up at 1-1. With Vegas averaging 37 shots on goal per game in the first two games of the series, the 30-year-old will need to be on top of his game again to give the Canucks a 2-1 lead.

Markstrom won't start Game 3 between the Canucks and Golden Knights on Thursday after the game was postponed, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

In addition, Game 3 between Philadelphia and New York is also expected to be postponed as the NHL has decided to follow the NBA's lead and not play any games Thursday. Both contests will be rescheduled -- the league figures to resume playing Friday or Saturday in conjunction with the resumption of the NBA playoffs.

Markstrom stopped 38 of 40 shots in a 5-2 win over Vegas in Game 2 on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom bounced back in a big way after getting pulled in Game 1. A little help from his Canucks teammates went a long way as well, giving him a chance to get the win, which tied the series at one. On top of Markstrom's 38 saves, the Canucks blocked 40 shots as a team, as Vegas controlled play for much of the game. More efforts like Tuesday's will give Markstrom boom-or-bust value in DFS formats -- if he's on his game, the returns will be great, but Vegas' unrelenting offense adds a high amount of risk to investing in the Swede's services.

Markstorm will start Tuesday's Game 2 matchup against the Golden Knights, Thomas Drance of The Athletic Vancouver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom will head back to the cage after a rough showing in Game 1, getting pulled after allowing five goals on 34 shots in the 5-0 rout. Excluding Sunday's matchup, however, the Swede has been solid in the bubble going 7-3-0 along with a 2.44 GAA and .929 save percentage. The Golden Knights are big -210 favorites for the game, so it's a bit hard to justify playing Markstrom in DFS formats.

Markstrom yielded five goals on 34 shots in Sunday's 5-0 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom didn't get much help from his teammates, and he was pulled in favor of Thatcher Demko midway through the third period. The Canucks' defense has been a problem in the playoffs -- Markstrom has seen an average of nearly 35 shots per game across 11 appearances. Against a Golden Knights offense averaging 3.89 goals per game during the playoffs, Markstrom will need to stand on his head to give the Canucks a chance.
