Yeah but the ~25 starting goalies above Markstrom in goals saved above expected this season don’t face nearly as many tough shots as he does. Not one. He leads the league in “can’t blame the goalie on that one” goals against…or something like that. I think.
I don’t get why there is an expectation the sixth highest cap hit goalie in the league and second highest cap hit player on the team makes an exceptional play every now and then.
