Canucks' Jacob Markstrom: Unimpressive in loss to New Jersey
Markstrom surrendered three goals on 22 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.
Analysis:
Formerly considered one of the game's top goaltending prospects, the 26-year-old Swede has never lived up to that billing. He's been unable to build much momentum this year despite seeing repeated opportunities to establish himself as Vancouver's No. 1 netminder, leaving veteran starter Ryan Miller with a significant workload edge when healthy. With this outing, Markstrom's season save percentage has actually slipped to an ugly .899, ensuring that he won't mount a coup anytime soon.
