Yesterday afternoon Eric Francis revealed that Darryl Sutter's maximum target number for Markstrom is 62 starts. This means he should get no more than six from here until the playoffs. At this point, the mist important thing is probably to pace Markstrom with equal time in between starts before May.

Definitely.
However, there are 3 weeks left in the season. And our upcoming schedule is SEA, SEA, CHI. Great opportunity to give Markstrom some rest now, and then gear it back up to normal over the last half dozen games or so.
