Assuming stats of goalies on different teams with differing styles and personnel can be "objective", over the last 4 seasons plus the start this year, just looking at save%:
Goalie A: .912; .910; .901; .894 and .912
Goalie B: .918; .904; .922; .892 and .904
There's not a lot of space between these two sets of stats as a whole. In fact, excluding this season the two have an identical save% over the entire 4 years. They have identical cap hits but Markstrom has one fewer years left and is 3 years older.
