Numbers are based on averages and this is a what if i guess but if Shesterkin played 10 more games his numbers might have dipped below the averages of Saros and Markstrom.
I think having the comparable numbers with more games played shows a sustained level of high play over a longer period but this isn't factored in I guess. I'm not arguing Shersterkin didn't have a fantastic year but if he plays 10 more games do his stats get reduced? maybe

Probably not because that's how averages work. In those 10 more games he is suddenly going to have a 4.5GAA? and let in 45 on 306 shots? because that what it would take.
He also has 1 less win in 10 games less played, he would probably pick up 6-7 wins in those 10 so now he has 45-46 wins to Markstroms 37.
53 games is a large enough sample size to say he was better.
