Markstrom allowed five goals on 35 shots in a 5-0 loss to the Penguins on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old got some puck luck when a shot that cleanly beat him early in the first period hit the post, but eventually, his luck ran out in a big way during this one. The Penguins tagged him for five goals in the final two periods, including four in the last 24 minutes of the contest. That quickly turned a rather competitive hockey game into a blowout. Markstrom is 3-3-0 with a .902 save percentage and 3.27 GAA in six starts this season.

Markstrom will start Saturday's home game versus Pittsburgh, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a rough two-game stretch, Markstrom responded with consecutive solid outings. Having won his last two starts, the Swedish netminder will look to make it three in a row against Sid and the Penguins. Pittsburgh enters Saturday's contest having won three straight and sits fourth in the league with 35 goals scored.

Markstrom allowed two goals on 35 shots in a 3-2 shootout victory against the Golden Knights on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Following two games where he yielded five goals apiece, Markstrom is 2-0-0 with a .955 save percentage in his last two starts. Both contests went into overtime, so his GAA is well below 2.00 in those two games as well. The Canucks should ride this mini-hot streak, and owners in all leagues should feel free to do the same.

Markstrom will start in goal Wednesday night against host Vegas, Dan Murhpy of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom stood on his head in Saturday's game against the Bruins, turning aside 30 shots for his second win of the season. Now, he'll look to temper a Golden Knights team that team that has won three straight after an inauspicious start to the season that saw celebrated goalie Marc-Andre Fleury post a 3.95 GAA and .846 save percentage in a week's span.

Markstrom will start between the pipes in Saturday's home game against the Bruins, Ben Kuzma of The Vancouver Province reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has struggled this season, posting a 1-2-0 record while registering an ugly 4.02 GAA and .883 save percentage in three appearances. The Swedish netminder will look to start turning things around in a tough home matchup with a Bruins offense that's averaging 3.71 goals per game this campaign, sixth in the NHL.

Markstrom will get the starting nod on the road against the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

After a commanding Opening Night performance in which Markstrom allowed just two goals on 35 shots, the netminder struggled versus Calgary on Saturday by giving up five to the Flames. The Canucks are heading into just their second game of a six-game road trip, so don't be surprised to see Anders Nilsson make a start at some point even though the team won't face and back-to-backs.

Markstrom will guard the cage in Saturday's road matchup with the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom was sharp in his season debut Wednesday against Calgary, stopping 33 of 35 shots en route to a 5-2 home victory. The 28-year-old Swede will look to stay dialed in and pick up a second consecutive win against the same opponent Saturday, but this time he'll be tasked with facing the Flames on the road.

Markstrom turned aside 33 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom's first season as Vancouver's No.1 goaltender offered a mixed bag of results. Despite that, he enters 2018-19 as the go-to-guy between the pipes and judging by his first performance, appears ready to improve on what was an inconsistent 2017-18 season. If all goes well, expect another 60-start season for the Swede.

Markstrom will start in goal Wednesday night for the season home opener facing the Flames, Patrick Johnson of The Province reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom will see shots from a team with a new direction. The Flames hired 2015 Jack Adams Award winner Bill Peters, who replaces Glen Gulutzan as the head coach. The Swedish net minder has posted a 57-79-19, 2.83 GAA and .908 save percentage over 153 career starts and 169 games total.

Markstrom surrendered three goals on 27 shots in Saturday's 4-1 home loss to the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

The Coyotes fashioned three goals -- including a power-play tally from Derek Stepan -- by the third period, and then Michael Grabner added an insurance marker with the net empty in the waning moments of the game. Markstrom will reprise his role as the No. 1 goaltender for Vancouver this season. The Canucks finished with an egregious minus-46 goal differential in 2017-18, but very few offseason changes were made on the blue line, so that's a big concern for the Swede as he embarks on his 10th season in the NHL.
