I hate to compliment anything Canucks related, but Markstrom was playing out of his mind to start the season, that's how they got so far ahead. 4 of his first 6 games were shutouts. One of the 2 non-shutout games was only 1 GA. That's unheard of. He's returned to human form now as his last 3 GP have a combined 11 GA with his last game against Rockford being 6 GA.
Meanwhile, we have Turkubot 2.0 back. His game is clicking again so if he goes into shutdown mode, the Comets are in trouble. The Flames have the offense now to make Markstrom's life miserable and Ortio has the confidence and swagger back to stop everything and laugh at them while doing it.
