It actually goes much deeper than that. See, because Sutter REFUSED to play Vladar (more than 50% of games) when he was RED HOT (.900sv%), that was actually abusive to Markstrom because, psychologically, Markstrom became convinced that Sutter would mistreat him if he won games, so this psychological abuse manifested itself in Markstrom playing poorly.
