The xGA argument against Markstrom during the NYR game also needs to be looked at in context of his opposition.
Markstrom had a xGA of 3.5, Halak’s was 2.0. With the larger differential, that’s means Halak was the worse of the two goaltenders in terms of goals allowed vs expected.
So xGA actually doesn’t support the argument that Markstrom cost them a point.
