A bunch of those were from that stretch where it happened consistently (and Vladar got swept up in it in his start as well - 2 goals in 3 shots).
But I bet you’d be surprised at how many time a goalie who finishes at, say .900 save% lets in one in the first 5 shots in a game. .900 is a goal every ten shots so it stands to reason half of those come in the first 5 and half in the second.
