Based on stats the quality against they faced was about the same.
Game 1 vs Game 2
Shots: 27 vs 26
xGA: 2.38 vs 2.54
GA: 4 vs 1
Vladar held the fort so the team could have a 3-1 win (before the EN), and Markstrom did the opposite and turned what was a 3-1 lead and what should have likely been a regulation win into a 4-3 OT loss.

Yup. The soft goal that made it 3-2 changed the game, and the way both teams played.
The goal that made it 1-1 last night didn't change the game because it wasn't soft, it was just lucky. Vladar was playing well, and the team stuck with it.
