Canucks turning to Jacob Markstrom on Friday
The Vancouver Canucks are starting Jacob Markstrom in goal versus the Calgary Flames on Friday.
Backstrom was brilliant his last time out on Tuesday. He stopped 31-of-32 shots faced as Vancouver defeated the Winnipeg Jets 4-1. On Friday, the netminder gets to face a Flames club who has lost three of their past four while scoring only 2.25 goals per game.
Our models have Markstrom 15th-of-24 goalie options on Friday with a projected 16.6 fantasy points, 2.7 goals allowed, 27.0 saves and a 45.0 percent chance of winning.
