Jacob Markstrom Struggling In Calgary
4 years agoCalgary Flames goaltender Jacob Markstrom allowed three goals on 22 shots against as his team lost to the visiting Ottawa Senators 4-3 in a shootout on Sunday night. The 33-year-old, who was one of the league's hottest netminders through the first month of the season, has now lost four consecutive games (and five of his past six contests). Markstrom has been on a steep decline since January - as displayed by his 2.18 goals-against average and a .929 save percentage in January, 3.37 GAA/.896 SVP in February and a 2.91 GAA/.891 in two starts in March. The Swedish netminder has a ton of talent in net and will likely turn around his play, but fantasy owners would be wise to staple him to the bench until he starts showing signs of life.
