He was fine.
But my take is some of those saves look tougher than they should have been because of the issues mentioned above.
When a goalie is on everything looks effortless. They are big in their net and crisp and compact in their movement .
Markstrom is the opposite right now. Everything looks hard.
He's deep and small in his net. Late to react on pucks, and his lateral movement is chaotic.
