Markstrom will defend the blue paint against the Jets on Tuesday, Brad Ziemer of the Vancouver Sun reports.

Analysis:

Markstrom has been off his game lately, as he's posted a 2-3-0 record while registering a 2.83 GAA, including allowing five goals in his previous matchup with Winnipeg. That five tally outing was the sixth time this season the netminder has been beaten four or more times. On the flip side however, the 26-year-old also has six contests in which he allowed one or fewer pucks to bend the twine. All this makes it difficult to pin down which performance to expect out of Markstrom on Tuesday.
