Markstrom allowed four goals on 36 shots in the Canucks loss in Montreal on Monday. Markstrom has allowed a combined seven goals on 81 shots (.914 SV%) in two starts this season. He draws a good matchup with the Devils in town. The Devils rank 23rd in the NHL with 2.37 goals per game.
Markstrom stopped 42 of 45 shots that he faced to record the win in his season debut in Columbus last Tuesday. With Ryan Miller allowing seven goals in back-to-back losses over the weekend, it looks like the Canucks will turn to Markstrom tonight in Montreal. The matchup is an ugly one as the Canadiens rank second in the NHL with 3.50 goals per game.

Markstrom missed the first month of the season with a lower-body injury. He was 1-0-1 with a 2.40 GAA and .909 SV% in two games during a conditioning stint with Utica (AHL). He will make his first start of the season tonight after going 1-1-0 with a 3.08 GAA and .879 SV% with Vancouver last season. He will face a Blue Jackets team who is 4-11-0 on the season and 2-3-0 in their last five.
Markstrom has been out with a lower-body injury, but is back to 100 percent after going 1-0-1 with a 2.40 GAA and .909 SV% in two conditioning games with Utica.
Markstrom tweaked a lower-body injury in Tuesday’s practice and is unable to suit up as Ryan Miller’s backup tonight. Markstrom will be evaluated later today to determine the severity of the injury and how much time he will miss. Richard Bachman has been recalled to serve as the backup.
Markstrom, 25, went 1-1-0 with a 3.08 GAA and .879 SV% in three games with Vancouver. With Ryan Miller set to return to the lineup tonight, he heads back to Utica where he has gone 19-7-2 with a 1.91 GAA and .932 SV% this season.
Markstrom has made two NHL appearances and as it stands now, he is 0-1-0 with a 10.21 GAA and .500 SV%. He went down to the AHL last weekend and went 2-0-0 with a 1.42 GAA and .943 SV% so maybe this time around he will have a little more confidence. He draws a great matchup for people who are in a pinch fora spot-start—the Yotes have lost seven in a row.

Markstrom went 2-0-0 with a 1.42 GAA and .943 SV% in two games with Utica over the weekend. There is no indication when his next start will be, but the Canucks do have a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday.
The Canucks are sent Markstrom down to play a few games over the weekend but he is expected to swap places with Joakim Eriksson again next week.
Markstrom has not played an NHL game yet this season, but has performed admirably at the AHL level, going 17-7-2 with a 1.95 GAA and .932 SV% in 26 games with Utica. He will face the Sharks, who sit just five points behind them in the Pacific Division.
With Ryan Miller out for an undetermined amount of time, Markstrom, 25, returns to the Canucks to serve as Eddie Lack’s backup for the time being. He has had a great season with Utica, going 17-7-2 with a 1.95 GAA and .932 SV% in 26 games. The 2008 second round pick (31st overall) has gone 12-27-5 with a 3.19 GAA and .896 SV% in his NHL career.
Markstrom, 24, was acquired in the trade that sent Roberto Luongo to the Florida Panthers last March. He was 2-8-3 with a 3.39 GAA and .873 SV% between the Panthers and Canucks last season. Markstrom was once considered the NHL's top goaltending prospect and will likely be claimed by another team. He has just one year with a $1.2 million cap-hit left on his contract, making him a relatively low-risk add.
Markstrom allowed five goals on 22 shots in a loss to the Oilers last night. His first two starts with the Canucks have not gone very well as he has allowed eight goals on 49 shots (.837 SV%), both resulting in losses. He will start the last game of the season vs. the Flames.
Markstrom allowed three goals on 27 shots in a loss to the Avalanche in his first start with the Cancuks. He will get a second chance tonight and draws a much easier matchup in Edmonton. However, it is Ryan Smyth's last NHL game so the Oilers could come out flying for their veteran.
Markstrom has not started an NHL game since December 20th. He played 19:48 wit the Canucks in early March after replacing Eddie Lack--he stopped four of five shots. He will likely start the remaining three games in a lost season for the Canucks. This will give Vancouver a good idea of what their goalie situation will be like heading into 2014-15.
Markstrom, 24, was the 31st overall pick in the 2008 NHL draft. He has yet to assert himself as an NHL regular, but will get a chance now in Vancouver to share time with fellow countryman Eddie Lack. The two were teammates back with Brynas of the Swedish Elite League. Markstrom is 1-6-3 with a 3.52 GAA and .874 SV% with Florida this season, but has recently been playing with San Antonio (AHL) where he was 12-11-3 with a 2.56 GAA and .918 SV%.
Markstrom makes his first start since November 5 when he allowed four goals on 27 shots in a 4-3 OT loss to the Oilers. He is 1-5-3 with a 3.36 GAA and .877 SV% this season. His matchup with the Jets is a solid one, but he is a risky spot-start regardless of his opponent.
