It seems like it’s actually I who has to explain why it might be evidence to
you. Adding in to what Enoch said, a “depleted lineup” only tells us that the chances of quality chances and shots being generated are probably going to be lower than if the team had all of its stars playing. Thankfully, hockey isn’t a predetermined thing, so we can actually just watch the game and see what actually happens. In the game, Markstrom avoided a soft goal and made the kind of saves you hope for, so yes, that could be evidence he is turning it around. The game before, his gaffe was a puck playing one (not a soft goal) so that’s another possible piece of evidence.
Now, that doesn’t mean he IS turning around. But if he does, it’s definitely evidence of it. If he doesn’t, it was just a blip of higher quality goaltending. Obviously we’re all hoping it’s the former, right?
And trust me, if I’m being antagonistic you’ll know it. You won’t have to feel around for the “tone.” We’re talking NHL goaltending here. It’s pretty light stuff that isn’t worth getting upset about.
