• Flames' Jacob Markstrom: Wins ugly Wednesday

  2D ago •

  Markstrom stopped 22 of 28 shots in Wednesday's 9-6 win over the Oilers in Game 1. Markstrom allowed the Flames' four-goal lead to slip away, but the offense bailed him out with the last three tallies in the contest. The Swede had allowed just 11 goals in seven games versus the Stars, so this was an uncharacteristically poor outing for him. The 32-year-old is no stranger to playing long stretches of games in a row, but he'll need to sharpen up against the Oilers' big guns in Friday's Game 2.

  Markstrom will guard the home goal in Wednesday's Game 1 versus the Oilers, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports. Markstrom will look to build off a fantastic first round, in which he posted a 1.53 GAA and a .943 save percentage in seven games. The Oilers present a different type of challenge than the Stars did -- Markstrom and the Flames' defense will have to address the Oilers' superstars, which could see his ratios get a bit worse in the second round.

  7D ago •

  Markstrom allowed three goals on 39 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 6. Markstrom was solid as usual, but the Stars' offense was just a bit better in this one. He's allowed only nine goals in six playoff contests thus far, though the 39 shots he faced Friday marked a series high. The Swede will likely get the nod in Sunday's Game 7 with a trip to the second round on the line.
