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.
The Islanders added two late empty netters to give them a 3-0 win over the Panthers on Sunday. Markstrom played very well allowing just one goal on 35 shots. He will be back in goal tonight vs. the Maple Leafs.
Markstrom has been solid, giving up just one goal in each of his last two starts.
Tough matchup against Henrik and the Rangers
Jonathan Quick started last night vs. the Coyotes and stopped all 27 shots that he faced. With Quick starting last night there is no real surprise that it will be Bernier in between the pipes tonight. In his last start he allowed two goals on 22 shots in a winning effort vs. San Jose. The Coyotes are not a good offensive team so Bernier makes a good start tonight.
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.
Bernier will start at home tonight where he is 3-0-0 with a 1.79 GAA and .918 SV% this season. The Kings are coming off of a 4-3 loss to the Sharks on Thursday. They will face San Jose again tonight, looking for a better result.

The Panthers - losers of 4 straight - desperately need a win but on the road in Boston will be a tough spot for them and Markstrom. Use your other options if you have them.
Tatar played well for the Red Wings posting four goals, three assists with a plus-4 in 18 games this season.
Markstrom appears to be the clear #1 goalie in Florida with Jose Theodore out with an injury. Markstrom is 1-3-0 with a 3.52 GAA and .889 SV% since Theodore got hurt. He has a solid matchup against the Lightning who have lost seven of their last eight.
Markstrom has lost each of his lsat two starts making him 1-2-0 with a 2.82 GAA and .902 SV% in his last three starts. He will be between the pipes against the Eastern Conference leading Montreal Canadiens tonight, not a great matchup.

Markstrom gave up two goals on the first two shots that he faced yesterday vs. Washington. He was pulled for Scott Clemmensen who didn't fair any better allowing five goals on 24 shots. Markstrom will start tonight vs. the Jets hoping for a better outcome than last night.
Markstrom will make his second consecutive start since Jose Theodore got hurt. He played very well in his last outing, allowing one goal on 31 shots vs. Winnipeg. He has a tougher test tonight against a Washington team that has won seven on their last 10 games.
Bernier has been lights out this season so he deserves to start. In his last five starts he has won all five with a 1.00 GAA and .956 SV%. Quick has also played well but the Kings are going to ride the hot hand of Bernier. He only saw 19 shots last night vs. Nashville so he should be fresh tonight against the Blues.

Markstrom will get the nod tonight for the Panthers and if he plays well will likely become the Panthers #1 with Jose Theodore out. He has a good chance to play well because the Jets aren't a great team but that being said, they have played well as of late. If Markstrom is available in your league he could make for a good start and could be worth keeping on your roster.
Bernier has been great in a backup role this season. He has won his last four starts while only allowing one goal in each game. He has posted a .958 SV% over those four starts. He has a good matchup tonight vs. a Predators team with a weak offense, but he will need to outplay Pekka Rinne if he wants to record the win.
After Clemmensen was rocked coming in for Theo last night, Markstrom gets another shot at the big club. If Markstrom plays well, he should be picked up in deeper formats as the Panthers play 4 games next week and he could start at least 2.
