He has 5 goals against in the series. 3 of them on high danger shots, 2 on medium danger shots, and 0 on low danger shots.
Not his fault the forwards can't buy a goal at the other end of the ice. This isn't a Brian Elliott vs the Ducks situation where the goalie is single handedly costing them games.
(Out of curiosity I checked and Elliott let in 7(!!!) low danger goals against in that series. He let in the third most low danger goals of the entire playoffs...in 4 games)

Playing goal in Vancouver is a lot different than playing goal for the Islanders or Vegas you can't just compare numbers. Markstrom absolutely carried a team that had no business making the playoffs let alone winning a round.
