More fun Markstrom numbers.

He currently sits at -8.13 GSAA in round two. No other goalie in round two is worse than -3.95.

It’s not that he’s letting in back breaking low danger chances (also known as the Brian Elliott), he’s saved 39/40 Low Danger shots in the series which is fine.

But he’s let in 7 medium danger goals on 45 shots which is .844. That’s second worst in round 2 behind only Husso.

And he’s let in 11 goals on 35 high danger chances for a .686 which is by far the worst of any goalie still in the playoffs.

The team needs to tighten up around him but it does look like the guys are nervous a bit because every break down feels like it’s a goal against right now.

Goaltending is the one area where the Flames should have had a clear advantage coming into the series, and so far it’s been the biggest weakness
