Jacob Markstrom Stops 31, Wins Fourth Straight
6 years agoVancouver Canucks goaltender Jacob Markstrom stopped 31 of 32 shots from the Flyers in a 5-1 win on Saturday night. The win was Markstrom's fourth consecutive and gives him 12 on the season. It has been an up and down season for Markstrom who has a .904 save percentage this season, but a .942 save percentage in his last four starts. Markstrom's value comes from getting the lion's share of starts for Vancouver, and that should not change anytime soon as he has 12 of Vancouver's 15 wins despite starting only 24 of their 35 games. There may be more reliable options available in the net, but in weekly formats, Markstrom will keep getting enough opportunities to provide plenty of value.
