7 years agoVancouver Canucks goaltender Jacob Markstrom will get the nod from head coach Travis Green for the team's final home game of the season on Thursday against Arizona. He carries a losing record against the Coyotes this season in three starts, going 1-2-0, but he's actually posted some rock-solid numbers with a 1.36 goals-against average and a .960 save percentage. Markstrom has been hot lately, with his last regulation loss coming six games ago. He was sitting on a four-game winning streak before allowing four goals and finishing with 35 saves in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to Vegas. The Coyotes have lost eight of their last 11 trips to Vancouver and will start an ice-cold Darcy Kuemper, so it's a good spot for Markstrom to get his 23rd win of the season.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
