Markstrom can stand on his head all night long. The saves percentage stat doesn't show how bad defensively the team is or how good the opposition team is in their defensive zones. The goalie is only one of six positions on the ice. If the Flames played their game on the other end of the ice and Markstrom gets no shots, his save percentage is 0.0% and if he gets 1 shot in the whole game and no goals, that's 100%, even if the puck is shot from 200ft from the other end of the rink. Just saying - he's not the problem for the Flames, especially this season.
