Markstrom allowed six goals on 24 shots in a 7-2 loss to the Lightning. Steven Stamkos scored a hattrick and things won't get any easier tonight. He faces Sidney Crosby and the Penguins. Look elsewhere for your starter tonight.

After Tim Thomas left yesterday's contest with a groin injury, Markstrom came in and was excellent in relief. He turned aside all 25 shots he faced, but the Panthers could only get one passed Steve Mason. He will be the starter as long as Thomas is out, but the injury is not expected to be long term.

Markstrom projects to be the Panthers' top goalie this season but he will still have to earn the job out of camp. Stash him late in your drafts with hopes he can put it all together this season.
