Canucks’ Jacob Markstrom: Retakes series lead
Markstrom #Markstrom
Markstrom stopped 36 of 39 shots in a 4-3 win over the Blues in Game 5 on Wednesday.
The Blues scored three straight goals in a 10-minute span during the contest, but Markstrom was strong outside of that. A Canucks rally and his work to keep the third period scoreless was enough for Markstrom to help his team retake the series lead at 3-2. The Swede has now seen 30-plus shots in all five games of the series, but he’s posted a .927 save percentage. Expect him in goal for Friday’s Game 6 as the Canucks look to close out the series against the defending Cup champs.
