Markstrom performed well with a 2-2-1 record, 2.05 GAA and .944 SV% but needs regular playing time. Expect him to return and play should either of the veteran goalies get injured.
Over five starts against the Preds, Bernier holds a 4-1-0 record with a 1.80 GAA, .940 SV% and one shutout.

Dadonov has no fantasy hockey value in the AHL.
Palat scored 39 goals and 96 points last season for the Drummondville Voltigeurs of the QMJHL. He figures to add depth to the Lightning's minor league affiliate Norfolk Admirals
Dadonov is an off-man out following the team's offseason shopping spree. Last season, he scored eight goals and 17 points through 36 games. Expect him to draw back into the lineup sooner rather than later.
Bernier allowed four goals on 26 shots in his only NHL start against the Sabres.
With all the recent signings in Florida, it appears Dadonov is the odd man out. Last season he scored eight goals and 17 points through 36 games at age 21. He should rotate back into the lineup at some point this year.
The Chelyabinsk, Russia has surprised since coming to North America and could have solidified his role with the big club. Last season he managed to score eight goals and 17 points through 36 games, showing signs of a breakout campaign. While he should start the season on the third line, expect him to see valuable offensive minutes down the road.
Markstrom clearly wants to grasp the starting goalie position sooner rather than later. Last season he finished with a 16-20-1 record over 37 games played, sporting a 2.98 GAA and .907 SV%. He played in one game last season with the Panthers, allowing two goals over 40 minutes. He remains one of the team's top prospects so keep him high up on your sleeper lists.
The team's top prospect will get his first real chance at the starting goalie job by backing up Jose Theodore. While he remains one of the premier goaltending prospects in hockey, the former 31st over pick struggled with injuries and inconsistency in the AHL last season. Should he prove himself at the NHL level, look for the younger Markstrom to supplant Theodore before the end of the season.
No immediate fantasy hockey value in the AHL.
