Markstrom will start Monday's tilt against the Wild.

Analysis:

Looking to follow up a strong outing last Tuesday against the Avalanche (29 saves on 30 shots), Markstrom will give primary netminder another night off Monday. He stopped all five shots he faced against the Wild over a period of work in relief earlier this season, but will get a shot as the starter This time around. He'll square off against a team playing their first game since firing the head coach, with the Wild entering Monday on an eight-game losing streak.
