Markstrom played great stopping 36 of 38 shots in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday. He had lost six straight while giving up 25 goals prior to Tuesday's contest. He'll face a solid Leafs team tonight, look elsewhere.
The young Swede has a a rough season after putting up some solid numbers last campaign. With 10 games tonight he probably isn't a viable starting option unless you are desperate.

Markstrom has lost his last 4 starts and was pulled in 2 of those games.

Markstrom allowed six goals on 23 shots in a 7-2 loss to the Jets in Winnipeg. It won't get any easier for the young net-minder tonight as he faces Evgeni Malkin and the Penguins. I don't think it would be a good idea to start him tonight.
Markstrom allowed four goals on 31 shots in a loss to Washington last Saturday. He will get the nod against the Jets tonight, which isn't too bad of a matchup for him. However it is hard to trust a Panthers goalie in fantasy, especially given how bad their offense is (23rd in goals/per game).
Markstrom has won three straight games with a 2.66 GAA and .925 SV%. In his only start vs. the Caps this season he allowed two goals on the first two shots and was pulled. He will look for a better result this time around, but the Capitals are one of the NHL's hottest teams right now. They have won six out of their last eight games.

Markstrom allowed four goals on 40 shots in a winning effort in his last start vs. the Sabres. He will go head-to-head with Martin Brodeur tonight, so be wary of the matchup.
Markstrom is doing his best Panthers-era Luongo impression, posting mediocre win totals (3 wins in 11 starts) but solid peripherals (2.59 GAA and .921 SV%). He has a nice matchup against a struggling Sabres squad and could make for a good spot start if you're in a pinch.
The Islanders added two late empty netters to give them a 3-0 win over the Panthers on Sunday. Markstrom played very well allowing just one goal on 35 shots. He will be back in goal tonight vs. the Maple Leafs.
Markstrom has been solid, giving up just one goal in each of his last two starts.
Tough matchup against Henrik and the Rangers
This will be Markstroms first starts since last Tuesday when he lost his fourth straight start. Since being recalled on March 3rd because of Jose Theodore's injury, Markstrom is 1-3-1 with a 3.41 GAA and .875 SV%. It is hard to trust a Panthers goalie this season, because they can't seem to find wins.
The Panthers - losers of 4 straight - desperately need a win but on the road in Boston will be a tough spot for them and Markstrom. Use your other options if you have them.
Markstrom appears to be the clear #1 goalie in Florida with Jose Theodore out with an injury. Markstrom is 1-3-0 with a 3.52 GAA and .889 SV% since Theodore got hurt. He has a solid matchup against the Lightning who have lost seven of their last eight.
Markstrom has lost each of his lsat two starts making him 1-2-0 with a 2.82 GAA and .902 SV% in his last three starts. He will be between the pipes against the Eastern Conference leading Montreal Canadiens tonight, not a great matchup.
