There is a path there.
They need to have a strong performance in Game 5 on home ice, where they were pretty good in game 1 and 2, but need to be tighter defensively.
Markstrom needs to help steal a game in game 6 with the Oilers on home ice with the opportunity to clinch.
Then it comes down to a game 7 on home ice.
They can still win this series, they’ve just left themselves no Margin for error. And Markstrom needs to start playing like a Vezina candidate goalie that can actually make a difference and cover up some of the teams warts.
