Jacob Markström keeps racking up the shutouts in his second year with the Calgary Flames.
The 31-year-old goaltender made 27 saves in a 5-0 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night. He’s now just five shy of tying Miikka Kiprusoff’s record for most shutouts in a single season.
Jacob Markstrom is halfway to tying a franchise record for shutouts…in 13 starts.
Markstrom makes 27 saves for his league-leading fifth. Calgary blanks Buffalo 5-0. Miikka Kiprusoff holds the single-season shutout record with 10 during the 2005-06 season. #Flames
