Markstrom will be in goal for Thursday's road clash with Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom enters Thursday's contest stuck in a six-game losing streak in which he posted a 3.16 GAA and .893 save percentage. The Canucks are clinging to a wild-card spot at the moment, despite having gone 2-5-3 in their last 10 contests, but they will need Markstrom to rediscover his game soon. A matchup with the slumping Predators, who themselves are 3-5-2 in their last 10, could be the opportunity the netminder needs to get back on track.

Markstrom will tend the twine for Tuesday's road tilt versus Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom will be looking for revenge after giving up four goals on 29 shots his last time out, which was a home clash with the Stars. The Swedish netminder is stuck in a rut with a five-game losing streak in which he posted a 2.60 GAA and .912 save percentage. Barring a strong run of form, the netminder figures to continue splitting the workload with Thatcher Demko.

Markstrom surrendered four goals on 29 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Stars on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Canucks managed to erase a two-goal deficit in the second period, but Markstrom gave it right back by the end of the game. The Swedish netminder dropped to 5-5-3 with a 2.59 GAA and a .914 save percentage in 13 starts. Markstrom is 0-3-2 with 13 goals allowed in his five games, but he's only gotten seven goals of support in that span. The 29-year-old's next chance to snap the cold run comes Saturday versus the Avalanche.

Markstrom is slated to guard the goal during Thursday's home matchup with the Stars, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom has been pretty sharp in the month of November, maintaining a respectable 2.23 GAA and .924 save percentage through four appearances, but he's posted a highly disappointing 0-2-2 record over that span due to a complete lack of goal support from his teammates. The 29-year-old will look to remain dialed in during Thursday's home matchup with a red-hot Dallas team that's gone 8-1-1 in its last 10 games.

Markstrom allowed a pair of goals Sunday, making 25 saves in a 2-1 loss to New Jersey.
EDGE Analysis
The Swedish-born netminder was solid against the Devils, but a loss moves Markstrom's record to 5-4-3 and keeps him winless in four November starts. The 29-year-old remains a solid play in all formats, but expect Thatcher Demko to see more starts if the Swede' winless ways continue.

Markstrom will start Sunday's game against the Devils, Sportsnet's Dan Murphy reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom is in the midst of a strong campaign, with a 2.50 GAA and .917 save percentage through 11 appearances. He gets a nice opportunity to keep rolling against a Devils club that's averaging just 2.60 goals per game.

Markstrom turned aside 32 of 35 shots in a 5-2 loss to Chicago on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
It was another night of meager offensive support for Markstrom, who is winless (0-1-2) in his last three starts despite giving up just two goals each time out. Two of the three goals he allowed Thursday came on Chicago power plays. The 29-year-old has been incredibly consistent all season long, holding his opponents to two goals in eight of his 11 starts. Markstrom owns a 5-3-3 record with a 2.50 GAA and .917 save percentage.

Markstrom will patrol the crease in Thursday's road clash with Chicago, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom has played well recently, maintaining an admirable 1.91 GAA and .929 save percentage through his last two starts, but he's posted a disappointing 0-0-2 record over that span due to a lack of goal support from his teammates. The Swedish netminder will look to stay sharp in a road matchup with a Blackhawks team that's only averaging 2.75 goals per game at home this campaign, 27th in the NHL.
