Flames' Jacob Markstrom: Wins second straight start
Markstrom made 34 saves in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canadiens.
A Gustav Lindstrom tally early in the second period was the only puck to get past him, and it needed some help -- the sharp-angle shot went in off Rasmus Andersson. Markstrom has won starts on either side of a two-game absence due to a minor upper-body injury, and they were two of his best efforts of the season. His 3-6-1 record may be rough, but his 2.72 GAA and .905 save percentage could improve rapidly if the 33-year-old netminder is rediscovering his peak form.

Flames' Jacob Markstrom: Losing streak continues
Markstrom turned aside 26 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.
The Flames have floundered to begin the season, going 2-7-1, and Markstrom is bearing the brunt of it. He's lost seven straight starts, going 0-6-1 with a 3.03 GAA and .892 save percentage over that stretch, but he can't be faulted for Wednesday's defeat as all the pucks that beat him were the result of deflections, screens and defensive breakdowns. First-year Calgary coach Ryan Huska hasn't hinted that Markstrom's starting job is in danger yet -- backup Dan Vladar's numbers have been even worse to begin the year, but prospect Dustin Wolf has gone 4-0-0 with a 2.71 GAA and .921 save percentage through four AHL appearances.
