Markstrom allowed five goals on 19 shots in two periods Sunday, leading to a 6-1 loss the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

It was one of the worst outing for Markstrom on the year, as he has only allowed five goals one other time in 2017-18. It seems he is running into some mid-season struggles after being solid early in the season. Still, Markstrom is 9-10-3 and has a 2.57 Goals Against Average, which is the best of his career. If called upon to start this Tuesday, the 27-year-old has a chance to get back on track in a home matchup against the Canadiens.

Markstrom has been named Sunday's home starter versus the Flames, NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Flames were shut out by the Predators in Calgary on Saturday, and they're just 3-5-2 with three straight losses in the past 10 games. Markstrom faced this team Nov. 7, earning the 'W' after kicking aside 29 of 32 shots. His peripheral numbers (2.57 GAA and .912 save percentage) probably don't enthrall fantasy owners, but Sunday's daily slate only features four games and the Swede could be a popular play based on his robust .923 save mark in the comforts of Rogers Arena.

Markstrom allowed three goals on 37 shots in a 4-3 overtime victory against the Sharks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Canucks goaltender let the Sharks back into this one, yielding the final two goals of regulation, but his teammates bailed him, sealing an overtime victory. This was Markstrom's third victory in five starts this month, but he has allowed at least three goals in each of his last three starts. Overall, he owns a pedestrian .912 save percentage and 2.57 GAA this season.

Markstrom will defend the cage against the Sharks on Friday, Kevin Woodley of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has played in just one of the Canucks' previous three outings -- a five-goal shelling at the hands of the Jets. The 27-year-old and backup Anders Nilsson have combined to allow 18 goals in the previous four games -- all losses. San Jose is averaging the 10th most shots per game (32.9), which means it could be a busy night for Markstrom.

Markstrom surrendered five goals on 24 shots Monday during a 5-1 loss in Winnipeg.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has been all over the place recently, allowing eight goals over his last two games (49 shots) after stopping 64 of 65 shots in the two starts prior. The big Swede is now a pedestrian 8-10-3 with ratios (2.56 GAA and .911 save percentage) that are slightly better than his career marks of 2.84 and .906, so -- despite the back-to-back duds -- he still appears to be trending in the right direction in his age-27 season.

Markstrom will defend the cage against Winnipeg on Monday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom got the day off Saturday versus the Flames, so he should be well rested as he squares off with a Jets squad that is averaging 3.36 goals -- fourth highest in the NHL. The netminder has not fared well versus Winnipeg in the past, registering a 2-5-1 and 3.30 GAA in eight career matchups.

Markstrom allowed three goals on 25 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom was twice victimized by Philadelphia's potent power play as the visitors got off to a 3-0 lead before the game's halfway point, but he held them at bay the rest of the way until Wayne Simmonds sealed the deal with an empty-netter. The hulking Swede's now 8-9-3 with a 2.44 ERA and .916 save percentage.

Markstrom will tend twine as the home starter versus the Flyers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Canucks coach Travis Green is hoping to double down on his luck after watching Markstrom pitch his first career shutout against the Hurricanes on Tuesday. The Flyers earned an impressive 4-2 road win over the Oilers a day ago, but they could be a bit taxed after hanging 32 shots on backup tender Laurent Brossoit.

Markstrom stopped all 30 shots he faced for his first career shutout Tuesday against Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

It was the first shutout in 115 starts for Markstrom, who is sporting a .917 save percentage this season. The Swedish netminder was excellent in his previous start against Toronto and carried that strong play into Tuesday evening. His 8-8-3 record is quite mediocre, but Markstrom is trending in the right direction and worth getting in your lineup for a Canucks team now on a three-game winning streak.

Markstrom will be the starting goalie for Tuesday night's showdown with the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom was outstanding his last time out, saving 35 shots and allowing just one goal en route to a big victory over Toronto on Saturday. Prior to that performance, the Swede had allowed three goals or more in seven out of eight appearances, so he'll be looking to maintain his new and improved form against a Carolina team that is averaging 2.80 goals per game on the season.
