Panthers' Jacob Markstrom: Guarding road net Saturday
Markstrom will draw the road start in Saturday's clash against the Blues, per Rob Darragh of the Panthers' official site.
Markstrom is coming off an excellent performance in Tuesday's clash in Columbus, as he turned aside 38 shots on goal in a 4-1 win. The 36-year-old netminder enters Saturday's clash with a 5-3-1 record, a 2.56 GAA, a shutout and a .900 save percentage over 10 appearances this season. His return to Florida has been a positive move for both sides, as he currently looks the part of a true No. 1 netminder. Given his recent success and situation anchoring a strong defensive core, Markstrom is a must-start in all two-goalie formats for the time being.

Panthers' Jacob Markstrom: Stands tall in win
Markstrom allowed one goal on 38 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Markstrom had allowed 11 goals on 85 shots over his previous three starts following an upper-body injury. A matchup with the Blue Jackets provided him with a bit more of a test than expected, but he was up to task. The 36-year-old improved to 5-3-1 with a 2.56 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 10 starts. He's likely to remain in the starting role over Akira Schmid, but Markstrom hasn't been able to stand out very well against tougher offenses this season. The Panthers have a favorable home matchup against the Red Wings set for Thursday.

Panthers' Jacob Markstrom: Yields four goals in loss
Markstrom stopped 32 of 36 shots on net in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Bruins.
Outside of a rough first period, Markstrom fared decently well against a high volume on shots Sunday. With the loss, the 36-year-old netminder now has a 4-3-1 record, a 2.74 GAA, a shutout and an .886 save percentage over nine appearances this season. He's been a coin flip in fantasy so far this season, but still holds a safe floor as the Panthers' clear No. 1 option between the pipes. He remains a solid No. 2 option fantasy option in two-goalie formats. Markstrom's next chance to bounce back will be Tuesday's road clash against the Blue Jackets.

Panthers' Jacob Markstrom: Hangs on for fourth win

The veteran netminder has made two straight starts to kick off November after missing the final five games of October with an upper-body injury, and on the season Markstrom has gone 4-2-1 in eight outings with a 2.57 GAA and .885 save percentage.

Markstrom returned to action Monday against the Red Wings and allowed four goals on 28 shots during the 5-3 defeat.

Panthers' Jacob Markstrom: Stuck with loss in return to net
Markstrom stopped 24 of 28 shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings, with Detroit's final goal getting scored into an open net.
Making his return from a five-game absence due to an upper-body injury, Markstrom got beaten by a wrister from the faceoff circle by Carter Mazur early in the first period, setting the tone for a night on which the Panthers never held a lead. Markstrom is 3-2-1 through seven outings with a 2.50 GAA and .890 save percentage, and he might need to work in a timeshare with Akira Schmid (5-2-1, 2.86 GAA, 889 save percentage in eight appearances) in the short term until he shows he's fully recovered.

Panthers' Jacob Markstrom: Returns to action and gets win
Markstrom (undisclosed) made 20 saves in an 8-3 victory over Seattle on Saturday.
The game was never in doubt. Markstrom is 3-1-1 with one shutout, a 2.21 GAA and .897 save percentage in his new uniform. He had missed two games this past week with an undisclosed ailment; he had tightened up in Monday's loss to Buffalo but avoided injury.

Panthers' Jacob Markstrom: Unavailable against Vancouver
Markstrom (undisclosed) won't be available for Thursday's home game against the Canucks, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Akira Schmid was already slated to start Thursday's matchup, but Markstrom won't be able to dress as the backup after also missing Tuesday's game against the Blue Jackets. Head coach Paul Maurice said Thursday that Markstrom will likely return against Ottawa on Wednesday, so it appears as though the netminder will also be unavailable Saturday against Seattle. Schmid will presumably continue to operate as the top goaltender in Markstrom's absence, while Cooper Black will be available as the No. 2 option.

Panthers' Jacob Markstrom: Sidelined for Tuesday's clash
Markstrom (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day and will miss Tuesday's road clash against the Blue Jackets, per Rob Darragh of the Panthers' official site.
Markstrom exited Monday's contest with some tightness, but is expected to have avoided injury. Tuesday's absence is likely just a maintenance day for the 36-year-old netminder, and we could see him suit up again as early as Thursday against the Canucks. For Tuesday's clash Akira Schmid will draw the start and Cooper Black will back up.

Panthers' Jacob Markstrom: Exits after first period
Markstrom didn't come out for the second period of Monday's road matchup with Buffalo, stopping nine of 11 shots on net.
Markstrom was replaced by Akira Schmid, who would take the loss despite making 18 saves while conceding three goals. If the 36-year-old Markstrom doesn't have a serious injury, it's possible that he gets the nod for Tuesday's clash with the Blue Jackets since he only played one period.
