My vote is for Kadri but Markstrom has been good. If you take into account where the Flames are giving up shots (prime areas) then Markstrom is performing the 5th best in the league.

"In Markstrom’s case, we are talking about a netminder who grades in the bottom third of the league in terms of save percentage. But save percentage is just a much a measure of defensive integrity as it is a measure of goaltending production, and Markstrom is a great example as to why.

The Flames defensive unit is more than willing to invite opposing shooters to Markstrom’s doorstep, where scoring chances and shooting percentages surge. This is the sort of environment where a player can stop less than 90 per cent of shots faced and still be playing well, as he’s likely erased 10 or so goals from the ledger behind a porous Flames lineup."
