Markstrom would be good for 2-4 goals within the first 8 shots each game this series, plus he likely doesn't save any of the goals that LV has scored on the Jets.

Markstrom also didn't let in "bad" goals. The complaint was that (a) he was not making big saves on the golden chances that were given and (b) he was sub .900.
Hellebuyck has been sub-.900 except for game one, when he was .941 (on only 17 shots).
The teams are remarkably similar. Good but not absolute top shelf forwards. Solid D. Huge reliance on goaltending which, in general, Winnipeg got and Calgary didn't. But when Helly's not on, they lose.
