This season? Among 64 netminders who have logged at least 100 minutes at 5-on-5, they sit 39th and 57th. Markstrom’s degree of difficulty has gone up slightly, while Vladar’s is actually lower. They are both seeing roughly the same number of high-danger shots as they did last season. So the defensive play is not to blame for the netminders’ woes. They have simply just been B.A.D. at stopping pucks.
