<p>@Jacob Markstrom has completely shut down the Detroit Red Wings this season.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The 31-year-old goaltender picked up his ninth shutout of 2021–22 in Saturday&#8217;s game against the Red Wings, stopping all 19 shots he faced (including 14 in the third period) to help the Calgary Flames win 3–0.</p>
<p>Markstrom previously recorded a 33-save shutout at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit back on Oct. 21, 2021. That clean sheet was Markstrom&#8217;s first of the season; at this point, he&#8217;s more than doubled his career total with nine shutouts on the year.</p>
<p>Prior to the 2021–22 season, Markstrom had managed just eight shutouts in his entire career with the Flames, Vancouver Canucks, and Florida Panthers. He established his previous career-high in that category with three shutouts in 43 games with the Flames in 2020–21.</p>
<p>Markstrom continues to inch closer to Miikka Kiprusoff&#8217;s single-season franchise record of 10 shutouts, established during his Vezina Trophy-winning 2005–06 campaign.</p>
