It's clear at this point that Markstrom cannot be trusted to be the main guy this season, and it's affecting the players performance due to lack of confidence. When the one untimely/bad goal happens, the Flames are reeling in their play and structure.
The Sutter system relies on good goaltending. Markstrom isn't providing that, and has cost them team at least 10 points I would say. Valdar has to be given the reigns again, and this time with the opportunity to keep it, rather than letting Markstrom find his game.
