Markstrom came up with the win despite allowing five goals on 33 shots in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom wasn't pulled after giving up three goals in 4:02 during the second period, and he only allowed one more after that. It'll count as his fifth straight win, although he's now allowed 14 tallies in that span. The Swede's GAA jumped to 2.72 while his save percentage slipped to .917 after the sloppy outing. A starting goalie for Saturday's game against the Rangers has yet to be named.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has been red hot recently, picking up four straight wins while posting an impressive 2.24 GAA and .941 save percentage. The 29-year-old Swede will look to keep rolling in a home matchup with a surging Blackhawks club that's won three consecutive contests.

Markstrom made 49 saves on 51 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom was kept plenty busy by the Kings, but he was up to the task. The Swede has now won four straight starts against Pacific Division rivals, with only nine goals allowed in that span. The 29-year-old improved to 13-11-3 with a 2.63 GAA and a .919 save percentage after Saturday's sparkling effort. Given Markstrom's heavy workload, Thatcher Demko should be expected to start Sunday's road game in Calgary.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has been on a roll recently, picking up three straight wins while posting a rock-solid 2.32 GAA and .931 save percentage. The 29-year-old Swede will try to pick up his 13th victory of the campaign in a favorable home matchup with a Kings team that's 6-13-3 on the road this year.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom faced a 2-1 deficit entering the third period, but a three-goal rally from the Canucks made him a winner again. The Swede has won his last three starts to improve to 12-11-3 with a 2.66 GAA and a .917 save percentage this season. Thatcher Demko (concussion) was his backup Monday -- Markstrom's made eight straight starts heading into the league's holiday break. He'll likely split starts with Demko in a weekend back-to-back that sees the Canucks host the Kings on Saturday before visiting Calgary on Sunday.

Markstrom will get the home start in Monday's game against the Oilers, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Thatcher Demko (concussion) still on IR, Markstrom will make his eighth straight start. The Swedish netminder has held his own in the blue paint, posting a .923 save percentage and 2.65 GAA, but he posted a 3-4-0 record in that stretch.

He improved to 11-11-3 with a 2.68 GAA and a .916 save percentage in 25 starts. The 29-year-old will likely start again Monday against the rival Oilers, who have scored only 20 goals over their last eight games.

EDGE Analysis

The Penguins provide a tough task, as they've won seven of the last eight games while averaging 3.3 goals per contest.

Markstrom yielded four goals on 43 shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has a 2.75 GAA and a .914 save percentage in 24 starts. With 14 goals allowed in his last four games, it's hard to trust Markstrom if he starts Saturday's game against the Penguins.

Markstrom will be in goal at home versus Vegas on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis
