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 .897 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.

This is pretty balanced.
I don't put it all on Markstrom but if you can't win the goalie battle vs. Mike Smith and the Oilers, good chance you're losing.
