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.
Sounds like Markstrom is fully healthy. Look for him to get back to form in the minors and possibly get another look if Clemmensen or Theodore get hurt again.
Seeing Markstrom on the ice is a great sign for the top prospect. Expect him to go back to the AHL once healthy in order to get back in game shape.
Markstrom gets back on the ice, which is a good sign. The Cats will proceed with caution with their stud prospect.
Markstrom is not healthy enough to even backup tonight which indicates this injury is relatively serious. The Cats will proceed with caution with their stud prospect.
Markstrom took a maintenance day today but is not expected to miss any playing time. At the very least, expect the prized prospect to backup Scott Clemmensen.
Expect Markstrom to at least backup tomorrow's game against the Rangers. With Jose Theodore expected to miss at least two weeks, the team's prized prospect should get another start or two.
Markstrom is still one of the League's top prospects and should get some more NHL experience over the next couple of games. If you need a spot start, he should be an excellent option.
Markstrom's demotion is a sign that Jose Theodore is fully healthy. There is no reason to roster the Swedish netminder in one-year leagues while he remains in the minors.
Markstrom figures to backup Clemmensen tonight but likely won't see any playing time in this stint.
