Canucks' Jacob Markstrom: Tending twine Tuesday

Markstrom will get the starting nod Tuesday versus the Rangers, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.

Analysis:

Markstrom will be the netminder of record as the Canucks look to end their nine-game losing streak. In a position battle that remains wide open, the 26-year-old has been unable to distinguish himself from fellow goaltender Ryan Miller. Markstrom's youth would seem to give him the inside edge on the starting job, yet he has been unable to overtake Miller as the No. 1 in Vancouver.
