Markstrom will protect the road cage in Saturday's game versus the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom is making a strong case to be December's Player of the Month, as he has a .943 save percentage and 1.63 GAA in eight starts. The only decision he lost was when the Canucks were shut out by the Jets. The Flames will still be a tough matchup since they rank fifth in the league at 3.45 goals per game, but Markstrom is playing well enough to handle the heat.

Markstrom will start in goal Thursday night against host Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom prevailed over the Oilers in their own barn Dec. 16, and there's an unwritten rule that a coach shouldn't look elsewhere after watching his goalie win the previous matchup.

Markstrom will square off against a team that ranks 24th in the league offensively by means of averaging 2.81 goals per game.

There's no doubt that the Swede has been absolutely brilliant over his recent string of victories that's included a 1.67 GAA and .942 save percentage -- but he didn't have to face either the Predators or Lightning over that span and those are two high-powered offensive clubs.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom is coming off an encouraging win over the Predators where he steered away 26 of 29 shots. That's still just a .897 save percentage but against a top opponent. The Blues are on the other end of the spectrum, as they've struggled lately and scored just four goals in the last three games. He'll be a cheap option in daily fantasy leagues but carries a fair share of risk as well.
