That is debatable, unless there are significant variances in goals and shooting percentages by division
You can certainly compare Markstrom’s stats to other goalies in the North
There also is some correlation having watched the games between Flames D and his stats
The Flames advanced stats look good because they often have a high volume of shots from the perimeter and high danger shots that aren’t dangerous.
Those stretches with low sv% don’t help either. When the first shot goes in, there is no subsequent shots like when the goalie stops the first one. Kind of kidding, the Flames did allow a lot of grade A chances that hung goalies out to dry
