Jacob Markstrom News

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.

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 likely be between the pipes against the Eastern Conference leading Montreal Canadiens tonight, not a great matchup.

Markstrom gave up two goals on the first two shots that he faced yesterday vs. Washington. He was pulled for Scott Clemmensen who didn't fair any better allowing five goals on 24 shots. Markstrom will start tonight vs. the Jets hoping for a better outcome than last night.

Markstrom will make his second consecutive start since Jose Theodore got hurt. He played very well in his last outing, allowing one goal on 31 shots vs. Winnipeg. He has a tougher test tonight against a Washington team that has won seven on their last 10 games.

Markstrom will get the nod tonight for the Panthers and if he plays well will likely become the Panthers #1 with Jose Theodore out. He has a good chance to play well because the Jets aren't a great team but that being said, they have played well as of late. If Markstrom is available in your league he could make for a good start and could be worth keeping on your roster.

After Clemmensen was rocked coming in for Theo last night, Markstrom gets another shot at the big club. If Markstrom plays well, he should be picked up in deeper formats as the Panthers play 4 games next week and he could start at least 2.

Markstrom lost both of his starts and allowed 3 goals in both contests and posted a .915 SV%. The Panthers have two veteran netminders with Jose Theodore and Scott Clemmensen so that is likely why Markstrom is going back to the AHL. However it doesn't sound as if Markstrom will be in the AHL for long.

Markstrom made 37 saves on 40 shots against the Penguins in his only other start this season.

Markstrom will make his first NHL start of the season. He is a great goalie prospect and with the Panthers struggling they are going to give the young kid a shot. I would assume Markstrom is up for good unless he plays terribly. However it can't get much worse than it already is. I would avoid starting him vs. Pittsburgh though.

With both of the Panthers goalies struggling this season they have recalled Markstrom who is one of the NHL's best goalie prospects. Markstrom was 49-47-4 with a 2.65 GAA and .918 SV% in his 100 career AHL starts. He is also 2-5-1 in eight starts in the NHL. He could start tomorrow for the Panthers when they take on Philadelphia. Playing for Florida will limit his fantasy value but if he can stay up with the Panthers he could be a good pickup for people in Keeper leagues.

Markstrom is regarded as one of the NHL's best goalie prospects, had a shot to make the Panthers in camp but it looks like they're going to with Jose Theodore and Scott Clemmensen for another season.

Markstrom could be this years' Cory Schneider if he lives up to all the hype. If you're feeling gutsy, take a flier on him in your draft's last round.
