Unfortunately he's been outdueled in most of his tenure as Flames goaltender. It's pretty clear for a Darryl Sutter coached team to win games he needs Kipper or Quick (in his prime) level goaltending. The stats don't lie as Markstrom has been a below average starter in his time with the Flames. He wasn't bad last night but that first goal is saved by most NHL goaltenders and the Flames just don't have the finish to overcome soft goals. If he doesn't play a lot better, this team doesn't have a chance.
