ICE CHIPS: Jacob Markstrom - Goaltender

Goaltender Jacob Markstrom was named the CCM/AHL Player of the Week on Monday after leading the Rampage to a perfect week by making four starts and winning them all, allowing just seven goals on 137 shots (1.75 GAA, .949 SV%). Markstrom has now won his last six starts for the Rampage dating back to Nov. 28. Last week, against the league-leading Abbotsford Heat, the Rampage were outshot 70-31 in two games, but Markstrom held strong and San Antonio skated away with two wins. The 6- foot-6, 195-pound netminder brought his momentum back home to the AT&T Center, where he led the Rampage to a pair of victories over a potent Oklahoma City Barons squad.
