Markstrom said that he will have surgery on his knee next week, meaning he is very likely out for the rest of the season.

EDGE Analysis

It's somewhat tragic that Markstrom's season will end as a result of a friendly skills competition but sometimes that's just how it goes in sports. After a hot start to the season in which he won his first three starts with a combined five goals allowed, the 27-year-old keeper was never able to completely regain his form and did not win consecutive games until his season-ending injury. He'll rehab his injured knee and will look to come back strong for the 2017-18 campaign.

Coach Willie Desjardins said the team will "have to make a medical decision" on Markstrom's injured knee soon, indicating that the Swedish goalie could be shut down for the season, The Province reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Canucks already eliminated from playoff contention, sitting Markstrom for the remainder of the campaign would seem to be a prudent move for the team, as the Swede could be in the running for the starting goalie role next season. It's probably not worth investing in Markstrom at this point in the season anyhow.

Markstrom (lower body) has been ruled out of Vancouver's next three games, but he's slated to rejoin the team soon.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom hasn't played since Feb. 16 against the Blues, so he'll likely need to log a number of full practices before returning to game action. The 27-year-old goaltender should resume practicing as soon as he joins the team, which should happen at some point over the next few days. He'll likely remain on injured reserve until he's given the green light to make his 27th appearance in goal for the Canucks this season.

Markstrom (lower body), who was already injured, is now suffering from food poisoning and won't travel with the team.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has long been considered the heir apparent in Vancouver, but his inability to stay on the ice, combined with inconsistent play, will no doubt have the Canucks brass reconsidering the three-year contract extension they gave to the netminder during the offseason. For now, Ryan Miller will continue to serve as the No. 1 option, but don't be surprised to see the reins turned over to Markstrom once he is given the all clear.

Markstrom (lower body) skated before practice Tuesday, but is at least a week away from returning, per coach Willie Desjardins.

EDGE Analysis

It's crazy to think that an injury sustained during a friendly skills competition would keep Markstrom out for almost a month, but here we are. Ryan Miller will likely continue to command the majority of starts in the Vancouver net while Markstrom remains sidelined, with Richard Bachman snagging starts here and there.

Markstrom (lower body) will not travel to California for the Canuck's three-game road trip and is slated to be out at least a week.

EDGE Analysis

Assuming this schedule holds true, Markstrom will likely miss at least the next four games to this injury. The 27-year-old keeper posted a 2-3-1 record to go with a .904 save percentage and a 2.69 GAA over his last four starts, so it's not like he was going to challenge Ryan Miller for the starting job anyway. In the meantime, Richard Bachman could see his first start of the season this week.

Markstrom (lower body) is on Vancouver's injured reserve list, per the NHL's official media site.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom's injury is apparently a bit more serious than day-to-day and he'll likely remain off the active roster for the rest of the week. Recent call-up Richard Bachman will be the backup goalie for Tuesday's game against the Red Wings and probably until Markstrom is able to return to action.

Markstrom is considered day-to-day after suffering a lower-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom may have avoid the mumps, but still picked up an injury during the team's skills competition. Ryan Miller remains the primary starter in Vancouver, so it is unclear if Markstrom will actually miss any scheduled starts. The Canucks called up Richard Bachman from the minors to likely serve as the backup Tuesday against the Red Wings if Markstrom can't give it a go.

Markstrom allowed four goals on 21 shots during Thursday's loss to St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

This was a disappointing showing from Markstrom. He sported a respectable .924 save percentage, 2.42 GAA and 3-3-1 record over his previous seven starts, but is clearly underneath Ryan Miller in the pecking order and offers limited upside. After all, Markstrom has just 10 wins and a .910 save percentage through 25 games (23 starts). You need to aim higher in all fantasy settings.

Markstrom will start between the pipes in Thursday's road game against the Blues, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom was pretty sharp in his last outing, turning aside 26 of the 28 shots he faced en route to a 4-2 win over the Sabres on Sunday. The Swedish netminder will look to keep rolling and pick up his 11th win of the campaign in a tough road matchup with a red-hot Blues team that has won five consecutive games.
