In the regular season they were shooing 10.21% all situations and 8.38% at 5 on 5 so to say it's unsustainable is an understatement. But when does their luck run out?

Regression to the mean can happen the larger you increase the sample size.
That's why these advanced stats in the playoffs aren't a useful indicator of the future. That's why we've seen unknown goalies pull off massive playoff shocking success, underdog teams go all the way
At this point, oilers are generating a ton of grade A chances, and markstrom isn't making enough 10 bell saves to steal them anything (particularly in games 2 & 3, he was absolute horse poop game 1).
