Canuck Player Recap: Jacob Markstrom

Who?

Born: January 31st, 1990

Position: Goalie

Catches: Left

Drafted: 2nd round, 31st overall by the Florida Panthers in 2008

With the departure of Ryan Miller in the 2017 offseason, Jacob Markstrom got what he finally wanted: a chance to be an NHL starting goaltender. It only took a decade after his draft year to get there, but Markstrom finally crested the 60 game plateau.

How did he fair? Check out his stats below.

It was a bit of a surprise to see Markstrom hit the 60-game mark, although it was largely because Anders Nilsson lost the trust of the coaching staff.
