This is a perfect example of why I think this stat is garbage...

"-0.39 goals saved above expected" sounds VERY exact, very accurate.

But it doesn't coincide with reality at all. Both goals against Wolf (just like the first goal against Vladar) were unstoppable. He literally made every save he could. But according to the stat, he underperformed 'expected'.
