Flames haven’t been at there best and really the series should likely be 2-2 but Smith has been better than Markstrom.

Through 4 games:

Shots: 153-135 Flames
Scoring Chances: 138-118 Flames
High Danger: 55-48 Flames
Expected Goals: 14.8 - 13.4 Flames
Goals: 20-16 Edmonton.
Save Percentage: .892 - .852 Edmonton.

Flames could win either Game 2 or Game 4 if Markstrom has a good game, instead they lost both and are now down 3-1 because of it.

When you get to the Final 8 teams in the playoffs the margins are that thin.

Panthers fans are mad at Bobrovsky and he had a .920 save percentage in the sweep…Markstrom is rocking the .850 right now.

The team can play better in front of him, and hopefully tonight was a step in the right direction. But Markstrom needs to really get his act together because he’s the reason they are down right now.
