A bit of the difference is one game he was put in a can’t win situation by the defensive structure of the rest of the five on the ice. Sure he could have been better positioned on a couple of those goals but he was hung out to dry.
This time he might as well have just tossed the puck into the net on that second goal. Every one of the 64 goalies in the NHL should be expected to handle that and not give up a rebound like that while opening up the net at the same time.
