Canucks' Jacob Markstrom: Beats Blues in overtime Tuesday

Marsktrom turned aside 23 of 24 shots in a 2-1 overtime win over the visiting Blues on Tuesday.

Analysis:

Markstrom was terrible in his season debut Sunday against the Hurricanes, giving up three goals on just 22 shots. However, he was given the nod in a tough assignment against the Blues since Ryan Miller (undisclosed) was unable to go. After beating St. Louis, Markstrom is a perfect 2-for-2 in starts thus far this season, so owners who plugged the 6-foot-6 Swede into their lineups should be pleased. With Miller's status moving forward unclear, he could be in for a big value boost.
