The Flames play their penultimate game of the season on Tuesday and will turn to Markstrom between the pipes. Markstrom has struggled lately, allowing three or more goals in nine of his last 10 games (3-7-0). He allowed three goals on 29 shots (.897 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 4-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings. The Flames enter action on Tuesday as +181 road underdogs against the Vancouver Canucks.
The Flames snapped a three-game losing skid with a 3-2 win over the San Jose Sharks courtesy of a strong performance from Dustin Wolf but will switch back to Markstrom in the crease on Thursday against the Los Angeles Kings. Markstrom has lost five of his last six games (1-5-0), including his most recent outing when he allowed three goals on 26 shots (.885 SV%) in a 4-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. The Flames enter action as +166 road underdogs.

The Flames are fresh off an impressive 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings and will roll with Markstrom in the crease for a second straight game. Markstrom has seen limited action the last month due to injuries but has allowed three or fewer goals in three straight (1-2-0), including saving 16 of 18 shots (.889 SV%) in his last outing. The Flames enter action on Tuesday as significant -233 home favourites.
The Flames, losers of three straight, will turn to Markstrom for the second time in the last three games. Markstrom lost in his return from a two-week absence due to a lower-body injury, allowing three goals on 25 shots (.880 SV%) in a 4-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday. The Flames will look to snap their winless skid as they are -171 road favourites against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Markstrom has missed the last five games due to a lower-body injury but could return to the crease as soon as Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks. Dustin Wolf will likely serve as Markstrom's backup for the duration of the season as Dan Vladar is set to undergo season-ending hip surgery.
Markstrom has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury and will miss at least one more. Dustin Wolf has filled in admirably so far since Markstrom's injury, saving 67 of 70 shots (.957 SV%), winning both of his starts, and will start again Monday against the Washington Capitals.
Markstrom is set to make a fourth consecutive start on Thursday when the Flames travel to Tampa Bay to take on the Lightning. He saw a personal four-game losing streak come to an end in Monday's game against the Kraken, when he allowed four goals on 30 shots enroute to a 4-2 defeat. He owns a 21-16-2 record on the season to go along with a .912 SV%. He'll have his hands full again on Thursday as the Flames find themselves as +130 underdogs in Tampa.
Despite all the trade speculation, it seems Jacob Markstrom will be staying in Calgary for the remainder of the season as he gets his seventh-straight start on Monday vs. Seattle. The 34-year-old is second in the NHL with a +18.7 GSAx and has impressed despite the weak roster in front of him with his 21-15-2 record, 2.57 GAA and .914 SV%. He will host the Seattle Kraken on Monday, who have won three of their last five games but are struggling offensively as they are 28th in the NHL in goals per game (2.72).
Markstrom returns to Calgary's crease on Tuesday after an illness forced him to backup Dan Vladar for the Battle of Alberta this past Saturday. The 34-year-old veteran netminder is the talk of the Trade Deadline market at the moment and deservedly so due to his 19-15-2 record, 2.58 GAA and .914 SV%. He will host the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday, who are on the second half of a back-to-back after losing to Edmonton on Monday.
Markstrom will return to the crease for the ninth time in the last 10 games when the Flames face off against the Boston Bruins on Thursday. Markstrom has allowed three or fewer goals in six of his last seven games (5-2-0) and saved 28 of 31 shots (.903 SV%) on Monday, a 6-3 win over the Winnipeg Jets. The Flames enter action as +110 home underdogs.
Markstrom will return to the crease on Monday, looking to rebound after a poor outing on Saturday. Markstrom allowed four goals on 12 shots (.667 SV%) and did not finish the contest in an eventual 5-0 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday. The Flames enter action on Monday as a +113 home underdog against a Winnipeg Jets club riding a three-game winning streak.
Markstrom will start for the sixth straight game on Monday night as he and the Flames look to extend their winning streak to five games. After posting a pedestrian .896 SV% in his first 16 games (6-8-2), Markstrom has been a leading force in helping the Flames compete for a playoff position, posting an exceptional .936 SV% in his 16 games since (11-5-0). The Flames are +144 road underdogs against a New York Rangers club also riding a four-game winning streak.
