Markstrom vs Holtby.

Markstrom has won three straight games with a 2.66 GAA and .925 SV%. In his only start vs. the Caps this season he allowed two goals on the first two shots and was pulled. He will look for a better result this time around, but the Capitals are one of the NHL's hottest teams right now. They have won six out of their last eight games.

Markstrom is doing his best Panthers-era Luongo impression, posting mediocre win totals (3 wins in 11 starts) but solid peripherals (2.59 GAA and .921 SV%). He has a nice matchup against a struggling Sabres squad and could make for a good spot start if you're in a pinch.

This will be Markstroms first starts since last Tuesday when he lost his fourth straight start. Since being recalled on March 3rd because of Jose Theodore's injury, Markstrom is 1-3-1 with a 3.41 GAA and .875 SV%. It is hard to trust a Panthers goalie this season, because they can't seem to find wins.
