But this isn’t a shortened season like last year where the margin for error was smaller. They also clearly rode Markstrom too hard in the early part of the season and paid for it thru injury and declining play when he got back.
I see this sitting of Markstrom as more of a maintenance thing than anything else.
I don’t see him getting both games of the back to back.
