I think Vladar has squeaked into "good enough" territory more than Markstrom. I also think Markstrom has been in "absolutley terrible" territory more often than Vladar.

Just ran the xGA vs GA stats in bands.
Markstrom has been either even or better than expected goals in 60% of his games, Vladar 52%
Giving up two or more than they should have ...
Markstrom 17%
Vladar 24%
Hockeyreference quality start index
Markstrom 45.5%
Vladar 43.5%
Both pretty bad, Markstrom slightly better.
