Said Markstrom is 3rd in the league in their advanced numbers for goals saved above average (not public domain).
Also said Calgary's defense is more leaky this season and Markstrom has the 3rd lowest expected save percentage in the circuit.
Suggested he should be in the Vezina conversation.
Numbers we do see ...
Flames 5on5 xGA60
Last Year 2.41
This Year 2.51
Flames Short xGA60
Last Year 6.22
This Year 8.62
Flames All Situations xGA60

Markstrom has been great, especially in the last stretch.
Evolving hockey also has Markstrom as 1st in the league in GSAx.
Money Puck has him 12th in GSAx, and 16th in GSAx/60(more than 3GP).
After the recent hot stretch, Markstrom is also almost back to his career average sv%. He has a .907sv% this year, and a .909sv% career.
If Markstrom was playing at the same level last year, then we would've easily been a playoff team.
