Spencer Martin will start Thursday vs. Seattle.

Martin allowed five goals on 27 shots (.815 SV%) for his second straight five-goal loss as he was defeated by St. Louis in his last start. The 27-year-old has been leaned on heavily due to Thatcher Demko's injury, which has led to a not-so-pretty .885 SV%, 3.59 GAA but a decent 9-5-1 record. He takes on Seattle, who has won their last two games and are sixth in the NHL in goals per game (3.48).
