Markstrom will be in goal for Saturday's home contest against the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom lost his last start and has won only three times in the month of February, making seven appearances. The Bruins come in winners of five straight and hold a 9-1-0 record in their last 10 games, so this may not be the night to trust Markstrom in your lineup.

Markstrom yielded three goals on 28 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom had a 3-2 lead to protect after J.T. Miller tallied twice in the third period, but the Swedish goalie couldn't make it stand. He slipped to 22-16-4 with a 2.74 GAA and a .918 save percentage after the rough outing. Markstrom can be forgiven for the occasional misstep -- the 30-year-old has been a reliable workhorse in fantasy. He's got a tough matchup ahead if he gets the nod for Saturday's showdown against the Bruins.

Per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650, Markstrom was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, indicating he'll start between the pipes in Wednesday's home matchup with Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom has been red hot recently, picking up back-to-back wins over the Predators and Blackhawks while posting an exceptional 1.00 GAA and .977 save percentage. The 30-year-old Swede will look to keep rolling in a favorable home matchup with a Wild club that's 10-15-2 on the road this year.

Markstrom posted a 49-save shutout in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom's 49 saves were the most in a shutout by a Canucks goalie in franchise history. It's his second doughnut of the season. The 30-year-old improved to 22-16-3 with a 2.74 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 41 starts. Wednesday was Markstrom's fifth straight start, but the Canucks have at least two days off between each of their next four games, so the Swede could still get the nod frequently going forward.

Markstrom will defend the home net Wednesday versus the Blackhawks, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom is coming off a bounceback performance versus the Predators on Monday, when he set aside 36 of the 38 shots attempts flung his way to pick up his 21st victory of the campaign. He will aim to extend that success into Wednesday's outing versus a Chicago squad managing 2.96 goals per game on the road.

Markstrom allowed two goals on 38 shots in a 6-2 win over the Predators on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was spotted a four-goal lead before he let one in. The win snapped a personal three-game losing streak for the Swede. Markstrom is up to 21-16-3 with a 2.81 GAA and a .915 save percentage through 40 starts. He's started four straight games, but expect the 30-year-old to see a majority of the starts with the Canucks in the thick of a tight Pacific Division race.

Markstrom will get the home start Monday versus the Predators, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom is on a three-game skid where he has posted an .882 save percentage and 4.41 GAA. The team's sticking with him, though, and this is a favorable matchup to get back on track. The Predators rank 21st with 2.92 goals per game, and they haven't surpassed two goals at in their own barn since Dec. 23.

Markstrom surrendered five goals on 31 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom kept things close over the first two periods, but the Flames ran away with the game in the third. The Swede has now lost three straight games, allowing 13 goals in that span while receiving just four markers of support from his offense. He's at 20-16-3 with a 2.83 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 39 starts. Fantasy owners may want to keep Markstrom on the bench until he can right the ship.

Markstrom will defend the home net during Saturday's clash with Calgary, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom hasn't been great recently, suffering back-to-back road losses to the Bruins and Wild while posting a sub-par 4.08 GAA and .899 save percentage. The 30-year-old Swede will try to bounce back at home in a matchup with a slumping Flames squad that's lost three straight games.

Markstrom made 33 saves in a 4-2 loss to Minnesota on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was in a 3-0 hole by the end of the first period and ultimately dropped his second straight road start. On the bright side, he drew the primary assist -- his first helper of the year -- on J.T. Miller's second-period power-play goal. Markstrom, who has only four losses since Christmas, will try getting back into the win column Saturday against Calgary.
