Canucks' Jacob Markstrom: Edged out by Sens in close game

Markstrom gave up only a single goal on 24 shots Thursday, but got no offensive support in a 1-0 loss to Ottawa.

Analysis:

The Canucks looked to have the better end of the goaltending heading into this matchup, as Mike Condon started for Ottawa after being acquired from Pittsburgh the day before. Markstrom certainly acquitted himself well, but Condon shut the struggling Vancouver offense out in his Sens debut, sending the Swedish netminder to his third straight loss. Although there's been some inconsistency in the early going, it still looks like the 26-year-old is coming into his own as an NHL goalie, but he's going to have a hard time picking up many wins if the Canucks' skaters continue struggling to put up goals.
