That's why I'm not as down on Markstrom as others as even the best goaltenders have seasons that are below their normal standards. He came to a new team in a pandemic with no proper training camp and preseason. To make matters worse his new team is on the decline under a questionable head coach that was playing him nearly every night. That coach gets fired mid-season so he's now working under a 2nd head coach in a shortened pandemic season so it's probably not the greatest environment for a goaltender to fit in with his new team. It's why I'm not overly worried about Valimaki despite his struggles as this has been a difficult season for a lot of players.
