It’s the story this season
The xGF/xGA stuff, the goaltending? Not for me. It’s the breakdowns that drive the results outside statistical norms
Time and time and time again. It’s not normal, it’s not like every team.
Chicago didn’t win the game, Calgary lost it.
Kadri has single-handedly cost the team in enough 1 goal losses that it may cost them a playoff spot

Breakdowns cause goals for all teams. That's what hockey is.
I can't stand the loose play either, drives me nuts, but there is just nothing to suggest Markstrom is facing a harder battle than goaltenders on other teams other than you just telling us it's a fact based on what you're seeing.
The current system measures shots from the areas near the net and how they got there.
They also measure the number of times each team give away the puck in 60 minutes.
All of that suggests Calgary gives up less, but is scored on more.
The goalie gets a share of that, and this season a pretty good share.

Top 5 in all suppression metrics and bottom of the barrel goaltending.
