So that's bad.
But I don't really care what it is, to be honest, if he makes a 10 bell save like he did in the dying seconds of the game on Kopitar and the team wins. None of the stats matter much to me but winning / losing.
Also, the team will be just fine. We saw what they are truly capable of in the first few games this season, which was ridiculously dominant.

It hasn't been a great start, but you would think those stats normalize back to the mean over the course of a full season.
When it comes to Markstrom, I think everyone is kind of right. He hasn't been as sharp as he should be, but he has also been the victim of some shoddy play in front of him. The good news is that we can see more of those grade-A scoring chances turning into five-alarm saves now.
