McKenna’s Matchup of the Day: Dec. 1 – Jacob Markstrom vs. Jake Allen
Starting Goalie Matchup of the Day for Thu. Dec. 1, 2022:What to watch for:
Markstrom entered the 2022-23 season as the Flames’ unquestioned No.1 goaltender. And while he’s played the bulk of games for Calgary, understudy Dan Vladar has started the last two outings. The pressure is real for Markstrom. His .889 save percentage hasn’t been good enough. But Markstrom’s saving grace is the win column: he has an 8-5-2 record on the season. The Flames have scored more with Markstrom in net.
My eye test on Markstrom tells me he’s sliding too often, and it’s causing him to lose his net. I’d like to see him rely more on skating and staying upright whenever possible. A patient and balanced Markstrom is what the Flames need.I feel for Allen. Montreal is so young throughout the lineup. Especially on the blueline. Players are learning on the fly. And I think it’s finally caught up to Allen. Last season he somehow managed to stop over 90 percent of shots faced.
