Markstrom is penciled in to start Saturday against the visiting Oilers, The Province reports.

Analysis:

Markstrom will look to avenge his road loss to the Oilers from Wednesday, when he was crushed for six goals allowed on 38 shots. With the Canucks having been well out of the playoff hunt, the Swede split time fairly evenly with Ryan Miller down the stretch. In this 2015-16 campaign, with one game to go, Markstrom's established career-high marks in games played (32) and wins (12). The heavier workload allowed the netminder to settle into a groove at times, leading to a .915 save mark on the season.
