So I expected people to (correctly) explain Wolf’s save percentage as a function of the situation and the team in front of him. The point being, this can also apply to any goalie’s individual game, or seven a string of games. Markstrom has generally been good this season but has a poor save percentage and a losing record. For the most part because of the team and not his own performance.

Isn't the league average SV% now down to %.902 or something? People do have a flawed view of what a good SV% number is based on the reality league the last year or two.
Wolf was good enough that the team should have got back into it. Nothing you can do about the 2 goals that got by him last night.
