Markstrom will tend the twine in Sunday's matchup with the Wild, Thomas Drance of The Athletic Vancouver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom registered a .918 save percentage and 2.75 GAA in 43 regular-season appearances. He'll be leaned on heavily throughout the Canucks' postseason run.

Markstrom (knee) told reporters he is healthy and ready to play once (if) the NHL season resumes, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom missed the final eight games of the season prior to the league going on hiatus due to his knee problem. The Canucks are just outside the final wild-card spot should the league jump back into the playoffs using its traditional postseason format, so it's possible Markstrom has played his final game of the 2019-20 campaign. Even with the shutdown, the 29-year-old reached the 20-win mark for the third straight year despite playing in just 43 contests.

Markstrom (knee) is expected to be available for the Canucks if the NHL season resumes play in late April or later, Patrick Johnson of The Vancouver Province reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom sustained a knee injury in late February and required a procedure to address the matter, with sources close to the situation indicating the netminder would likely be sidelined around six weeks as a result. That timeline would have initially put Markstrom at risk of being sidelined for the remainder of the regular season, but the NHL's decision Thursday to suspend play looks like it may limit the amount of actual game time he misses. Markstrom already resumed skating Tuesday, and though he won't have a chance to practice for at least a couple of weeks, he'll likely continue to conduct his own modified rehab program at home while he works to strengthen his knee. Markstrom's availability after the NHL returns from hiatus would provide a major boost for a Canucks squad that is far from a lock to earn a playoff spot.

Markstrom (lower body) skated for the first time since undergoing surgery Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

There's still no clear timetable for Markstrom's return to game action, but his presence on the ice Tuesday represents a large step in the right direction. The 30-year-old Swede will need to return to practice with his teammates before rejoining the lineup, so expect another update on his status once that occurs.

General manager Jim Benning said Markstrom had a "minor lower-body procedure" Wednesday and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

EDGE Analysis

There was speculation that Markstrom could sit out 3-to-4 weeks, and this could still be a reasonable timeline depending on his evaluation in two weeks. For the time being, Thatcher Demko will be the No. 1 netminder, but expect Louis Domingue to get a start during this weekend's back-to-back series.

Markstrom will undergo an MRI on his knee Monday and may sit out 3-4 weeks, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was surprising when the Canucks traded with the Devils for Louis Domingue, but Markstrom's potentially long-term injury justifies the move. Markstrom has been outstanding this season with a .918 save percentage and 23-16-4 record, but rookie Thatcher Demko will be the No. 1 netminder for the extent of Markstrom's recovery.

Markstrom was given a maintenance day for Monday's practice, though he could be dealing with a more severe knee issue per Patrick Johnston of The Providence.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom left Saturday's matchup with Boston after taking a stick to the eye but was able to finish the game. In order to protect against a potential absence for the 29-year-old, the Canucks brought in Louis Domingue from New Jersey. More details regarding Markstrom's status for Tuesday's clash with Montreal should be made available following the game-day skate.

Markstrom stopped 34 of 37 shots in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom briefly exited the game in the first period after taking a stick to the mask, but he was able to return and missed just 1:48 of action. Thatcher Demko didn't see a shot during his brief appearance. Markstrom improved to 23-16-4 with a 2.75 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 43 starts. The Swede will likely start again Tuesday as the Canucks begin a road trip in Montreal.

Markstrom returned to Saturday's game against the Bruins, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.
