Starting against United States Markstrom will tend the twine for Sweden during Wednesday's quarterfinal matchup against the United States at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Secures big win over Slovakia Markstrom stopped 29 shots in Sweden's 5-3 win over Slovakia in Olympic round-robin play Saturday.

Impact After Flip Gustavsson started the first two games of the tournament for Sweden, Markstrom was between the pipes for the crucial third game and came through with a solid performance to secure his team a 2-1 record in the round robin. However, Gustavsson still appears to be the No. 1 in net as Sweden heads into the elimination games.

Starting Saturday versus Slovakia Markstrom will patrol the Swedish crease versus Slovakia on Saturday at the 2025 Winter Olympics, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnetreports.

Slovakia has won its first two games of the round-robin tourney, upsetting Finland 4-1 and knocking off Italy 3-2.

Not starting after all Markstrom won't start for Sweden during Wednesday's game against Italy at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

Impact A previous report indicated that Markstrom would draw the start during Wednesday's tournament opener, but Filip Gustavsson will ultimately tend the twine against the host nation. Markstrom will still dress as the backup goaltender, and it's possible that he sees some playing time if the score gets out of hand.

Tending twine Tuesday Markstrom will patrol the home crease against Columbus on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Markstrom is coming off a 27-save performance in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over Nashville. He has a 15-12-1 record this campaign with a 3.24 GAA and an .881 save percentage through 29 appearances. Columbus is tied for 17th in the league with 3.09 goals per game this season.

Solid effort in OT win Markstrom stopped 27 of 29 shots on net in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.

Impact Markstrom allowed just two even-strength tallies and made six power-play saves en route to his sixth win of January. Overall, the 35-year-old netminder is up to a 15-12-1 record, a 3.24 GAA and an .881 save percentage across 29 outings this season. The veteran netminder is turning his season around game by game after a rough start to the season. Over his last seven appearances, he has a 5-2-0 record, a 2.56 GAA and an .893 save percentage. While New Jersey remains in the bottom half of the Metropolitan Division standings, they continue to flash signs of life, which should lead to Markstrom playing a competitive role down the stretch. With his recent turnaround, he holds solid fantasy value in two-goalie formats for the time being.
