Canucks' Jacob Markstrom: Falls in shootout to Kings

Markstrom allowed three goals on 31 shots in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Kings on Saturday.

Analysis:

The loss snaps a three-game winning streak for Markstrom, who's made four straight starts while Ryan Miller (abdomen) has been shelved. During that span, the big Swedish netminder has recorded a solid .923 save percentage and 1.95 GAA -- helped out by a couple one-goal showings against the Sabres and Blues -- so he's definitely done his part to earn more crease time. Miller is the confirmed starter for Sunday's tilt with the Ducks, but it'll be interesting to see how the remaining three games of the week get divided up.
