The problem is, Markstrom letting in a softie is more consistent and predictable than any other individual players coughing the puck up at the blue line or a very stupid offensive zone penalty.
Also the outlook is worse because it's a definite goal against vs a possible goal against in the other 2 situations where you at least have a chance at a save still or for the defence to clear the puck.
You need your goalies to make the obvious saves - the shots classified as low and medium danger. Dumb forward/defenceman play notwithstanding... because the latter is going to happen eventually, there are very few hockey games where your skaters are perfect defensively. But all those low and most of the medium danger changes need to be saved.
