He really did all he could to give the islanders a win tonight.
Goal on the 1st shot of the game (although not his fault), soft goal to tie it in the third, and a goal on their first shot in OT.
Sorokin handedly outplayed him. High danger chances were 17-10, expected goals were 3.9 to 2.7 and it was the flames that lost 4-3.
Refs also contributed but Markstrom needs to be better. Other goalies have made big saves to keep their team in this year, Markstrom not so much.

Not gonna lie, this is beginning to feel a bit like the Hiller/Ramo era.
You can't have a .900 or worse save % on a nightly basis for an extended period of time and continue to point the finger at the team in front of you. At some point you have to make a save. Especially when you're making $6M per year.
The team is having its struggles defensively, absolutely. But on nights like tonight one extra save can make all the difference. Marky just hasn't been making that extra save this year.
