Jacob Markstrom Earns Win Over Flyers in Shootout
5 years ago
Vancouver Canucks goaltender Jacob Markstrom turned away two of the three shots he faced in the shootout to secure his second win of the season on Saturday night. Markstrom saw 32 shots through regulation and overtime, allowing only two goals on his way to a .938 save percentage. Through four starts, Markstrom has now posted a save percentage above .930 percent in all but one game. In the only two years that Markstrom has received the starter's share of the workload, he held identical .912 save percentage rates and has a career save percentage of only .909 percent. Whether this is simply a temporary hot streak or not, Markstrom is only owned in 69 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and as the unquestioned starter playing well, that number should be higher.
