Markstrom will be in goal versus Minnesota on the road Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom is poised to set a new career high for wins this season, as he is already sitting with 20 and needs just nine more victories to set a new personal best. The 30-year-old's performance could earn him a raise this summer, as he is set to hit free agency July 1. Vancouver will face the decision of trying to retain the Swede's services or go with highly-touted youngster Thatcher Demko.

Markstrom turned aside 38 shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
The final score could have been a lot worse for the Canucks, as Markstrom made a number of big saves to keep things close before Boston finally put the game away late in the third period. Markstrom has been seeing a lot of rubber lately, facing at least 35 shots in each of his last four starts, and the volume may be wearing him down. On the season, the 30-year-old sports a 2.74 GAA and .917 save percentage.

Markstrom will start in the crease Tuesday versus the Bruins in Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom took the night off Sunday after collecting his third consecutive win and 11th in his last 13 during Saturday's contest versus the Islanders. While Markstrom's road numbers (2.93 GAA and .909 save percentage) aren't quite on par with what he posts on home ice, he still owns a 10-8-1 mark on the road. It will be a challenge to improve that record Tuesday against a B's squad sporting a plus-26 goal differential on home ice.

Markstrom stopped 34 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old was by far the busier of the two netminders, but Markstrom almost won the game in regulation before the Isles found an equalizer inside the final minute with Thomas Greiss on the bench. Fortunately for the Canucks, Quinn Hughes fired home the winner 42 seconds into OT. Markstrom is now 11-2-0 over his last 13 starts, and on the season he sports a 2.70 GAA and .917 save percentage.

Markstrom will tend the road twine in Saturday's matchup versus the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom enjoyed a successful January, as he produced a 6-2-0 record despite a mediocre .909 save percentage. He's been getting plenty of offensive support, but the Islanders often have strong goaltending. The Islanders enter this contest with losses in five of the last seven games while averaging 3.3 goals per contest.

Markstrom saved 38 of 40 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was busier than the Sharks' Martin Jones, but the Swede also proved to be better in an outstanding effort. He improved to 19-13-3 with a 2.69 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 35 starts. Markstrom has won four of his last five starts, with just 10 goals allowed in that span. He'll likely start one of the Canucks' next two games -- either Saturday against the Islanders or Sunday versus the Hurricanes.

Markstrom will start between the pipes in Wednesday's road game versus the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was fantastic in his last start Jan. 16 against the Coyotes, turning away 34 of 35 shots en route to a tidy 3-1 win. The 29-year-old Swede will attempt to pick up his ninth road victory of the season in a matchup with a San Jose club that's won its last four home games.

Markstrom made 34 saves on 35 shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was the busier than the Coyotes' Adin Hill, but the former showed his quality in earning the win. The 29-year-old Swede improved to 18-13-3 with a 2.71 GAA and a .916 save percentage in 34 starts. Markstrom has won eight of his last 10 games -- few goalies have been better in recent weeks. He's made four straight starts, so it's unclear if Markstrom or Thatcher Demko will get the nod versus the Sharks on Saturday.

Markstrom will start between the pipes against the Coyotes at home Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom was a little shaky in his last start Tuesday against the Jets, allowing three goals on just 24 shots en route to an ugly 4-0 loss. The 29-year-old Swede will try to bounce back in a home matchup with an Arizona team that's been pretty good on the road this year, posting a 14-8-3 record through 25 away games.

Markstrom stopped 21 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom had been the beneficiary of pretty consistent offensive support the past few weeks but it dried up in Winnipeg. Tuesday's was just his second loss in his last 10 starts and Vancouver will close out the first half with home dates against Arizona and San Jose, surely a welcome sight for Markstrom after having started four straight on the road. He'll come home sporting a 17-14-3 record with a 2.77 GAA and .914 save percentage.
