Canucks: Jacob Markstrom is rapidly driving up his value
Vancouver Canucks goalie Jacob Markstrom is having his best season yet in a contract year, and the price tag is growing at a rapid pace.
The Vancouver Canucks certainly wouldn’t sit atop the Pacific Division right now if not for the world-class play of 30-year-old netminder Jacob Markstrom.
Coming off the best season of his career, Markstrom has been even better here in 2019-20. He’s now 21-16-3 with a .915 save percentage and a 2.81 goals against average. Entering play on Tuesday, Vancouver has a three-point cushion over the Edmonton Oilers (who have two games in hand), Vegas Golden Knights and Calgary Flames.
