I was of a similar impression to many of you thinking that Markstrom wasn't stopping some of the easy shots this season. The low danger save % has always seemed to be like a strength of Markstrom so I decided to do some digging. Here are the
numbers from moneypuck:
Markstrom 2021-22 2022-23
Low...........0.973.....0.971
Medium......0.894.....0.812
High..........0.699.....0.702
This seems to suggest that Markstrom is struggling with the medium quality chances more than anything. One more thing that probably influences his numbers is the quantity of the higher danger shots.
