Huh?
Looked it up as I haven't seen that and the numbers say otherwise.
His CA60 this year is his best in ten seasons. Same with his xGA60.
Not good results this year, but his on ice save percentage is terrible ... not getting a save when he's on the ice. Only Sam Bennett and Brett Ritchie have had worse goaltending while on the ice.
There's a reason that Sutter speaks about Giordano, Tanev and Backlund glowingly all the time.
