With Thatcher Demko in concussion protocol and Mike DiPietro recalled from Utica, Jacob Markstrom may be in for an extended string of games as the Vancouver Canucks return home from their road trip.
Markstom has played well of late. This despite the loss of his father, the emotions of having his mother in town for the game against the Carolina Hurricanes, and the players in front of him being an utter mess. Posting a .938 save percentage going into Las Vegas, Markstrom has single handedly kept the Canucks in games and on Thursday facing the Hurricanes, he was next level spectacular.
