Canucks' Jacob Markstrom: Could be shut down soon

Coach Willie Desjardins said the team will "have to make a medical decision" on Markstrom's injured knee soon, indicating that the Swedish goalie could be shut down for the season, The Province reports.

Analysis:

With the Canucks already eliminated from playoff contention, sitting Markstrom for the remainder of the campaign would seem to be a prudent move for the team, as the Swede could be in the running to start in goal next season. It's probably not worth investing in Markstrom in one-year leagues at this point.
