My guess is that Markstrom will be in Florida for a while if not permanently meaning Brian will be in SA for a while. The Panthers have lost five in a row and lead the NHL in goals allowed. Both starting goaltenders Jose Theodore and Scott Clemensen have been struggling.

Markstrom has long been projected as the Panthers' future starting goaltender and this is a chance to see what he can do over a period of time. He is expected to start Thursday night in Philadelphia against the Flyers. Neither of the other two will accept going to SA. Skalde has been trying to find a place for Zoltan for a few weeks and the day he leaves, Brian gets called up! Skalde had predicted this in a kidding way but his nightmare now comes true. We now have to rely on a 20 year old with just a few games of pro experience.
