Your problem is that you think save% is a solely individual stat.

If course I can't tell you, that's their proprietary data, unless they do post it and I just haven't seen it. Oddly enough all the places that do this work come to the same conclusion, that Markstrom was downright bad in this series.
I think it's you that doesn't understand what these numbers are. Their entire reason for being is to try and separate the team component of save percentage from the individual performance.
All season long these numbers indicated Markstrom was sheltered by the Flames excellent defensive structure. We just saw what happens to him when that defensive structure fails.
To your point earlier, these numbers also indicate that Smith wasn't great this series either, he just wasn't as bad as Markstrom who was downright terrible. Which is why I say Smith outplayed Markstrom.
