Yup. I mean, a guy like Wolf who burned up the AHL has not got the NHL stats that some people rely on as the sign of a good goalie. It's just not that easy.
I think Markstrom has played miles better this year. I doubt his stats say so. But goalie stats are tricky and there's so many variables that affect the result. At the end of the day I can't think of a game that was on him. But I can think oif quite a few where they wouldn't be in the game without him making so good saves.
