It was one game and Markstrom didn't let in any "Bad" goals. You'd love for him to make a big save on Puljujarvi on the 4-2 goal, but it's not a soft goal.
Last season Markstrom was good, outside of the stretch where he was hurt / returned from his injury.

2 GP
SV%: .767
-6.30 GSAA (Woof those were two really bad games)
Then he was off hurt.
When he returned from injury he was not great, and struggled for the first 14 games or so.
13 GP
SV %: .884
GSAA: -8.82 (Third worst in the NHL in that time)
But now for the last 12 games he's been good again.
12 GP
SV%: .922
GSAA: 4.27
So it really was the stretch (2 games before his injury, 14 games he was injured, 14 games after he returned) where goaltending cost the team and Markstrom was no good. I'm optimistic that most of those midseason struggles for Markstrom were injury related though.
