Canucks' Jacob Markstrom: Receives starting nod ThursdayFebruary 21, 2019 | 11:51 AM

Markstrom will defend the home net Thursday against the Coyotes. Over his last six appearances between the pipes, Markstrom has let in at least three goals in five, accumulating just a 2-3-1 record. His overall 22-17-1 mark this year has kept the Canucks within striking distance of a playoff spot, but the team has been fading in the standings with a 3-6-1 record over the last 10. Markstrom's best efforts have come at home this season (2.68 GAA and .914 save percentage), so a chance to get back in the win column awaits versus a lackluster Coyotes squad.
