Usually we’re all for the “if it ain’t broke, don’t try to fix.” HOWEVER, the game against the Canadiens screamed for Dan Vladar to get a start, but Darryl Sutter doesn’t consult us on the lineups, so it’s once again Jacob Markstrom starting between the pipes for the Flames.
Markstrom has been nothing short of brilliant this season, but he is starting his 6th straight tonight and he’s been the Flames starter in net for 19 out of the Flames last 20 games. At some point Dan Vladar is going to need a start, if not for his own good, but to rest Markstrom so he doesn’t break down.
