So, he was not just giving up more goals (duh!), but was giving up more goals than the average goalie would do on comparable chances. At least I think that's what it was saying.
Vladar and Wolf on a per game average were terrible on that stat, but at least Wolf's got better at the end (which the eye test would confirm).

Yeah the slide in Markstrom's numbers after the all star break don't appear to be 100% on the team's defense (based on expected goal models of the day)
