Markstrom leads the Canucks onto the ice for warmups.

Markstrom stopped 34 of 36 shots in the Canucks win in Anaheim on Friday. The Canucks did not hold a morning skate because of the early start time in Edmonton, but they'll stick with their strict goalie rotation and go with Markstrom tonight. The 26-year-old has gone 1-1-0 with a 1.48 GAA and .948 SV% in two starts against the Oilers this season.

Markstrom stopped 34 of 36 shots in the Canucks win in Anaheim on Friday. The Canucks did not hold a morning skate because of the early start time in Edmonton, but they have stuck with a strict goalie rotation and it’s Markstrom’s shot to start.

The Canucks will not hold a morning skate on Wednesday because of the early start in Edmonton. Head coach Willie Desjardins is expected to announce his goalie when he addresses the media around 5 p.m. ET.

The Canucks have stuck with a strict goalie rotation for weeks now and it is Jacob Markstrom's turn in the rotation, so the belief is that he will start, but there won't be confirmation until a few hours before puck-drop.

Allen (lower-body) will miss the rest of the regular season.

Allen suffered a lower-body injury in Sunday’s win and will miss at least one week. The Blues have three games left in the regular season, so he’ll miss all three and then be re-evaluated prior to the playoffs. The Blues will turn to Brian Elliott in goal with Anders Nilsson serving as his backup.
