Ignoring the fact that Ward is the coach so it's his call, there was no upside to leaving Markstrom in there.
But there WAS downside. Which is exactly what happened. Instead of quietly giving him the 3rd period off, he ended up having to pull him out of the game, in front of his old team.
Absolutely horrific coaching.
My wife said: why didn't they pull Markstrom for the 3rd?
And she wasn't even watching.
