Markstrom has been given the starting nod on the road against the Bruins on Thursday night.

Analysis:

Markstrom has gone against the grain this season, putting up his best numbers away from Vancouver. The 25-year-old Swede has posted a 2.61 GAA at home, but that number shrinks to 2.11 on the road. Proceed with caution if you believe that past performance is indicative of future results -- So far, Markstrom's worst start this season came against the Bruins on Dec. 5, when he let in four even-strength goals on 22 shots.
