The Canucks will counter with Jacob Markstrom, who allowed four goals on 37 shots in the team’s 4-0 loss to the Blues last Friday. Vancouver’s defense once again let Markstrom down but it’s not like he’s lit the league on fire either. He’s 11-12-4 on the year and owns a 2.62 goals-against-average and a .917 save percentage this season.
