Markstrom stopped 23 of 24 shots in Sunday's 4-1 road win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
The victory was Markstrom's eighth in his last nine games. Dating back to Dec. 19, the Swedish netminder is 8-1-0. Marcus Foligno scored in the second period, but Markstrom was perfect besides that. The Canucks visit the Jets on Tuesday to wrap up their road trip, and Markstrom may very well get the start, though no decision has been made yet.

Markstrom will draw the road start for Sunday's clash versus the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom's record has reflected better than he's played, as he's gone 4-1-0 along with a .900 save percentage and 3.69 GAA in his past five starts. He'll need to be sharp Sunday, especially considering the Wild have racked up a 11-4-4 record at home this campaign.

Markstrom made 25 saves in a 6-3 win over the Sabres on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom held firm over the game's 20 minutes, giving up only one goal while Carter Hutton saw three pucks elude him. Loui Eriksson added an empty-net goal to make it a 6-3 final. The win gets Markstrom back in the winner's circle after he saw a six-game win streak snapped in his last start. With another game coming Sunday, expect Markstrom to give way to Thatcher Demko for that contest.

Markstrom will start Saturday in Buffalo, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Canucks will be happy to head back up north after a brutal two-game trip to the state of Florida, in which they were outscored 14-4. Markstrom was shelled for six goals in less than two periods by Tampa Bay in the first of those games. That clunker snapped a six-game winning streak, and the Swedish netminder will look to start a new streak against a Sabres team that's averaging just 2.89 goals per game.

Markstrom gave up six goals on 21 shots before being replaced by Thatcher Demko late in the second period during Tuesday's 9-2 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old actually kept Tampa off the scoreboard entirely in the first period, but the floodgates opened in the second and the Lightning scored three times in less than a minute to chase Markstrom from the game. The disastrous performance ended his personal six-game winning streak, but the wins didn't really reflect his inconsistent play of late -- since the beginning of December, Markstrom's 7-6-0 with a 2.99 GAA and .915 save percentage.

Markstrom will defend the blue paint during Tuesday's road matchup with Tampa Bay, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom has been red hot over the past few weeks, picking up six straight wins while posting an impressive .932 save percentage. The 29-year-old Swede will attempt to secure his 16th victory of the campaign in a brutal road matchup with an equally hot Lightning squad that's currently riding a seven-game winning streak.

Markstrom stopped 36 of 37 shots in a 2-1 win over the Rangers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
After the teams exchanged goals in the first period, Markstrom stole the show, keeping it tied long enough for Tyler Myers to net a late game-winning tally. The Swedish goalie has now won six consecutive starts with 15 goals allowed in that span. He's up to 15-11-3 with a 2.66 GAA and a .919 save percentage in 29 starts this season. Few netminders are playing better than Markstrom right now -- he'll try to keep the streak going on the road Tuesday in Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis
