Canucks' Jacob Markstrom: Dealing with lower-body ailment
Markstrom is considered day-to-day after suffering a lower-body injury.
Analysis:
Markstrom may have avoid the mumps, but still picked up an injury during the team's skills competition. Ryan Miller remains the primary starter in Vancouver, so it is unclear if Markstrom will actually miss any scheduled starts. The Canucks called up Richard Bachman from the minors to likely serve as the backup Tuesday against the Red Wings if Markstrom can't go.
